I have worn our the interwebz trying to figure this out.
I just bought a new to me 2008 Legacy 2.5i with an auto tranny. 115k on the car. According to the Carfax, the tranny was serviced by a Subaru dealer with about 45k. Front and rear diff serviced at the same time.
It's so darn confusing about the ATF HP. I'm asking for a little help here. I have a new filter and was going to do a drain and fill on the ATF. I can get Maxlife ATF at Walmart for $17 for 4 qts.
I can also get RP, Amsoil, or BG fluid.
Some info says Matic J (which is now Matic S and very compatible with Maxlife), some say the ATF HP is a must...you know the story..
What are you Subie guys using in your auto transmissions?
