Hi.
I'm looking for a suitable/good transmission and gear oil for my 07 Subaru Impreza STI, to replace the OEM Extra-S. I've used Extra-S for my last 2 fluid changes, but now it's no longer available at the dealer and what they have now is only sold as a package deal w/service($200+). The transmission is a 6speed manual and per the manual uses GL-5 rated fluids, same for the center and rear diffs. Choices from the local stores are.. Valvoline, Mobil 1(which I've read wasn't to kind to our cars), SuperTech and Castrol. Those brands come in dino, syn-blend and full syn. Thanks.
