Nope. Subaru (expect for the Justy) use longitudinally mounted engine and trans.
Therefore you have to divert torque 90 degrees.
This is a high stress and high loss point
it requires a special GL-5, 4 hypoid gear lube.
It is unfortunately shared with the MT.
Extra-S was the go to. IDK if its even available anymore.
I think there have been many threads on what worked well as a substitute.
My wife is A/T now with a longlife fill so - I don't have this concern.

I wonder what SoA are using in Indiana?
Maybe give the sales guy at Idemitsu Indiana a ring up.
They have been very responsive to me in the past.
Also below the Dev Lab number, but I would go sales first.
