No, the AWD design Subaru uses means the tranny case also houses the front differential. The front diff is a hypoid design and needs the GL-5 requirements. Our FRS/BRZ transmissions are just that, transmission only. Some of the GL-5 stuff could deteriorate brass synchros, etc. Use something GL-4 rated.
