[@davidgomez10207]

Thanks man you made this look easy. You saved me lots of money and time.

[@evlx14]

Glad it helped, thank for checking it out 🙌.

[@hongseokkim9289]

for 2020 wrx owners, Subaru changed both drug and fill plugs go on the rear diff. transmission into H10(drain) & 17mm(fill). fyi, both relocated from back side to passenger side.

[@quadegordon550]

Literally the most useful tranny and diff video for the wrx on this platform thank you sir

[@evlx14]

I really appreciate that. Glad it helped 🙌

[@midnight_rose3878]

Yessss please do the oil cooler update and review.

[@evlx14]

I remembered this comment, lol. It took a while but here's the top mount oil cooler update! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoCQhq2ugbKaqZo

Thanks for checking out my video! Congrats on your new ride 💪

Nice man very informative. About to do this on my 17

Thank you for this!

You're welcome, hope it helped 👌😁

@@evlx14 for sure. Subbed!

[@Speedy.2045]

You bring up a very good fact with removing the top plug first 🤣🤣 I can’t imagine if it was seized id be screwed haha

[@evlx14]

For real! Thanks for checking it out 🙌

[@Speedy.2045]

@@evlx14 great video btw! I’m about it to service mine for first time this weekend!

[@JmanRx81]

👍🏻👍🏻 well done sir

[@evlx14]

Thanks man! 😎

[@jimpie231]

Thanks! Over the years have changed many rear end fluids and also manual trans fluids. On your WRX you used 75w90 from Subaru, is there any reason you didn’t use Pennzoil or Castrol or similar? You didn’t show the back of your bottle so I could see the ratings, that would have helped. Your fluid looked clear, I suspect that it is synthetic? Thanks....Jim PS.....with the dip stick and fill plug on the rear end, did you ever check fluid prior to 36,000 miles? I would think you would check at least every 3rd oil change (15k).

[@rebelliousgoat1557]

Great video neighbor!

[@evlx14]

Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

[@clintonross1649]

Hey, thanks for the informative tutorial!! Just want to check and see if your WRX came with any crush washers or gaskets for the front or rear differential drain or fill plugs? I’ve seen some videos stating that they’re required so I wanted to double check. Thanks!

[@evlx14]

Thanks for watching!The rear diff had no washers on either plug. The transmission does have a washer, I just reused the same washer.

[@clintonross1649]

@@evlx14 Thank you, my friend! Appreciate the advice you’re sharing with us. I’m considering possibly reusing the washer now then replacing it when I reach the 60k service instead.

[@kevinkraftable]

why was there so much pouring out of the fill plug in the rear diff? too much oil was in there from last fill maybe?

[@evlx14]

It was correct from factory. Easy to refill

[@georgerivera6970]

Good content!

[@evlx14]

Thanks for checking out my videos 🙌

[@llryuujinll]

The book says replace brake fluid/clutch. and you replaced the diffs and trans fluid. did i miss something here. Now the book also says to inspect the trans fluid and if bad top off or replace.

[@evlx14]

Clutch and trans fluid is the same fluid. They are both drained and filled from the same single locations respectively. 🙌

[@llryuujinll]

@@evlx14 clutch fluid is the same as the brakes, it comes from the master cylinder. It's the thing that pushes on the clutch fork when you depress the clutch pedal. It uses the same fluid as the brakes. And it literally says brakes and clutch fluid, not trans and diff, that item was a little higher.

[@evlx14]

@@llryuujinll You got me there! Correct. I should have said, the transmission and front differential take the 75w-90 gear oil (same resivor). I had the brake fluid flushed and I went with Motul Dot 5.1.

[@edwinguevara5944]

Hi, nice video! The front differential goes together with the transmission? I’m sorry I’m new with awd cars

[@evlx14]

Thank you! Yes, they are together. Just fill from the same stem 💪.

[@edwinguevara5944]

@@evlx14 ok thanks a lot brother!

[@nickodicko8866]

What about the spark plugs??

[@evlx14]

The recommended spark plug change is at 60,000 miles but I did mine at 38k. Here's that video. 🤘 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGqada2tnc9oeKc

[@Ieatzboltz]

So is it the front differential or a transmission because everybody calls it the differential

[@evlx14]

The front fill is for the transmission and front differential. One fill for them both. Same fluid as the rear differential. 👌

[@ozmyster69]

If standard is it the same as 2016 wxr sti

[@evlx14]

From what I understand, it is pretty much the same process on the 2015+ STI. Also 75w90 oil.

[@ozmyster69]

Is this standard or automatic

[@evlx14]

Standard manual 👍

[@tjlovesrachel]

STIs are only manual

[@edwingrodriguez2438]

75 w90 is only for gear differential no for the transmission ,transmission oil CVT transmission it doesn't have a number

[@evlx14]

I have a manual transmission so the transmission fluid also takes 70w 90, the same as the rear differential. 👍 CVT fluid for the automatic transmission would probably be different.

[@newbeginnings8566]

Great video coverage but please tone down that horrible, repetitive background 'music 😮'. Or better still stop it altogether...

[@evlx14]

It takes a while to figure out how to make a good video. Thanks for checking it out 🤟

[@edwingrodriguez2438]

Watching You video one more time you check you put it 70 90 gear differential oil in your transmission

[@edwingrodriguez2438]

I Like You video you make it one big mistake you put gear oil differential and your transmission the oil for the transmission they have to say CVT transmission no 70 90 gear differential oil

[@ozmyster69]

Automatic

[@evlx14]

Thanks for checking out the video! At the time of the fluid change I just decided to go with OEM Subaru fluid. If I was to do it again I would go with Motul 75w90 as I've read the most positive reactions from it as an improvement over stock fluid. I tried to find a screenshot of the back of the bottle with description but couldn't easily find one. I'll post the Amazon listing. I hadn't checked it prior to the change. www.amazon.com/dp/B0731SB4M3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_7FCBM8DBWHXXWMG50TKE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
