Vehicle: 2019 Subaru Impreza 2.0i 5-door, automatic,
I'm going to be changing the GF's Subaru front and rear differential oil. The Owners Manual states " Subaru Extra MT GL-5 75W-90" as the appropriate fluid to use. I can get quarts of Shell Spirax S6 AXME 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil at at really good price. Would this specific gear oil be suitable for these differentials. I have used Spirax gear oil and Valvoline SynPower 75W-90 gear oil in the differentials of my personal vehicles and work trucks without issue. Are Subaru differentials "picky" as to what weight or brand of gear oil works best in them. I've checked on various Subaru Forums and recommendations for gear oil vary greatly. Any input the the BITOG Subaru Owners out there would be appreciated.
