While doing the first oil change on my 2012 Legacy 2.5i today, I finally got decent look at the underpinnings. In doing so I noticed the CVT trans has a bottom mounted drain plug on the pan.
It's a large, round headed plug, slightly larger than a quarter, with what appears to be an Allen/hex receptacle recessed into the center.
Much to my surprise, there also appears to be a top mounted fill plug, easily accessed through the engine compartment. It looks the same as the drain plug and is mounted on the top of what looks like the bell housing, on the right/passenger side.
If this is the case, how sweet is that? Your average manufacturer isn't that friendly.
