Between both, almost a full 4 quarts. I had some left in the last one. The tranny takes a lot more than the diff.

There's a vendor that sells a fluid swap package on here that is very convenient and a good deal. Highly recommend it.

Thanks guys for the responses. I already did the diff fluid change and that drain bolt was nasty. I ordered the tranny fluid and will do that this weekend.

If you're tracking heavily, then we recommend you get a used oil analysis done to determine your interval, but the common "safe" margin that is often used is every oil change. Remember, the differential is thousands, the fluid is less than 1% of the price of a differential.

question.. is there anything I need to be aware while I am changing the fluid??? also am I gonna use the stock washer or new washer? the place I order only gave me 2 new crush washer for diff, but not tranny.

The trans doesn't have a washer

I thought the drain plug has one? At least from what I saw it does. I got two washers with my Motul Gear 300 fluid swap pack. I know I used both. Well, fluid isn't leaking anywhere so I think I'm good, lol.

When I replaced my transmission fluid on the BRZ, there was a crush washer and it's pretty thick (not sure how much it actually "crushes"). But I did change both the drain and fill washers, the Subaru part number is 17008AA050 (for both).

Hmmm maybe I'm brain farting. I remember something not having a washer on this car...
