Anyone who works at Subaru, GL-3 Gear Oil?
Has Subaru given its dealers any information on part number to order this special MG gear oil? Part number?
Thanks for reading, lol. Jeff

I got no clue. I don't have access to the part system numbers. Maybe try calling/emailing a parts dept at a dealer?
GIS popped up this - http://jaytec-lubricants.com/index.p...&cPath=1_10_39 and this Manual Transmission Oil: 2.3 qt; “MG Gear Oil special II”; API GL-3 and SAE 75W-90 |

I've called both of my local dealers, neither of them could help, though they put about zero effort into it at all.

I think that you'll have better luck going to your local Scion dealer and getting it there. It was a lot easier for me to order TPMS Sensor Nuts from my local Scion store than my Subaru store.

Waiting for someone to try the Redline MT90. It looks to be a perfect application.

I don't get it brother?
Why don't you just use - Category: Gear Oil. Product Name: TOYOTA MG GEAR OIL SPECIAL-II GL-3 75W-90. Part No: 08885-01513 API: GL-3 SAE: 75W-90 Volume: 20L What is it that your looking for? Isn't it a Toyota Tranny? Wouldn't it be better to use your own materials? |

That part number is not available in North America. It's the only part number I can find for the stuff, but it is only available overseas. I have contacted Toyota about a part number for the gear oil here, preferably in 1L quantities, but they haven't gotten back to me with any solid information yet.
I wanted to know if this was something that was available from Subaru, and if so, I'd order it from them while I wait to hear from Toyota. I have considered Redline MT-90, but this is actually for a warranty repair, and I want to be able to use the GL-3. While I know GL-4 is a good alternative in most cases, I am not willing to blindly make that call for a customer, you know? I'd prefer to use the MG Gear Oil special II. tldr; Toyota doesn't list the stuff in North America yet, I have the 20L part number but it isn't loaded here. I wanted to know if Subaru had something yet because Toyota doesn't. Jeff

Toyota/Subaru even list in the manual that you can use the MG stuff or equivalent (though finding a GL-3 is tough because it is technically an inactive spec from API), afterward they have this nice box:

Amsoil listed the GL-3 and they carry a full synthetic replacement. Rear diff. is GL-5. They reccomend two differant fluids. So dont buy enough of one to do both.
