Just got a 2009 impreza 2.5i - 35k miles
had it photoshoped for nasioc lol
anyway, i noticed rough shifting and checked the ATF. it was brown! however i read somewhere that subaru changed their atf colour from pink to brown. the dealer did promise to change my fluid before delivery but im not trusting them. i was wondering if i could switch to synthetic oil for better shifting and fuel economy (reduced friction). what about the differential? this is my first 4WD car and im unfamiliar with these fluids. thanks in advance.
i have this ATF in mind:
