Who has changed MTF at a Subaru dealership?
What kind of fluid was used and how much did it cost? Also what is the price for a rear differential fluid change? Thinking about getting them done at a dealer, so any helpful information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Why not give your local dealer(s) a call? I'm sure they'll be able to quote you a price over the phone.
If someone tells you a much lower price that they got from a dealer on the other side of the country, I'm not sure how helpful that's going to be for you...

+1 for a good local shop. I supplied the oil and washers and was charged $35 for labor to change trans and diff oil.

I took mine when they were doing the free oil change at 6k, they charged me $50 to change the transmission and diff fluid.
Well worth it to not mess with getting the car up in the air, getting dirty, or having to smell god awful used gear oil. |

Honestly I think if you are getting an alignment or something already, pay a shop to do the trans at the same time. It's a pain to remove the panels on jack stands. Rear diff is easy do it yourself. Or do both yourself it's not that hard I'm just crying
