Thank you for this extremely thorough how to video. I wound up taking the wheel off to open the fill port.
Getting the plastic cover off was a pain.
You must live where no road salt is used.
I did have to use a three foot pipe on the breaker bar to take off the drain plug. And showing how to use a level was very smart and helpful.
Ok that funnel with a hose, is genius!
Thanks 😊
Great info. Thank you! On my 2019 Forester I didn’t have to remove any shields so it was very straightforward.
Thanks for the clear and direct information
Great job on this video... I watch several other videos on this subect, yours was the best!
Great service video and thanks for sharing 👍🏻✌🏻
Well done, Great reference material!
Finally someone who shows the 3.6r. THANKS!
Thank you, the demo was on a 2.4L, but should be the similar for the 3.6r
3.6r fill point is different then 2.5
@myongyi6154 the front differential is similar, but the rear differential is not. This may help:www.subaruoutback.org/threads/front-differential-service-2017-outback-3-6r-some-tips-from-my-own-experience.549520/
Great information and clear instruction.... i would redo beginning of video because all the bouncing around gotva little confusing....rest of video was done well.
Great Job! Thanks for sharing! Using the upper fill hole with the funnel is much easier than hand “pumping” from below! I do this for the CVT as well!
FYI: My 2017 Outback (284k miles) uses a “Torx” for both the “Drain” & “Check” plugs! You have to look closely before attempting to remove, otherwise you could strip it out! I use 75-140 gear oil (Texas heat) from Amsoil, or TORCO. This is my 3rd. Diff. & CVT service… even so, the front diff. Drain plug was so tight that I had to use a “cheater” extension pipe to break it loose… and I didn’t over torque last service!
Also, I use 4 “steel” ramps (taller than the plastics) to lift the car for service. It will only work by “backing” up the ramps… use only part throttle and be careful to stop immediately!
Thank you for sharing. How often do you change the CVT fluid, and what fluid manufacturer did you go with ☺️
@@justbehandy Hello, I tried to change the front differential fluid on my 2014 Croostrek and I don't know what I was thinking and I poured the fluid on the driver's side. I imagine it went to the transmission that you recommend and how do I get the fluid out of there? Yes. Did it go to the transmission?
@comeoll ouch!, I think the Crosstrek is the same, was the plug close to the 1/2 shaft? If not, then most likely that is the transmission fluid that you drained. If you put gear lube in there, I would not start the vehicle as it will circulate and mix the fluid and could take out the transmission. If you started the engine, then best to have it towed, don't drive it to the dealership and let them do a power flush to get all the gear lube out. If you didn't start it, then drain the fluid and remove the pan to make sure everything is removed. That way you can clean the inside of the pan with brake cleaner and dry it completely before reinstalling the pan with a new gasket. You then have to follow the proper transmission fill and check procedures to ensure the transmission fluid level is correct. I have a video on that for the CVT that uses CVTF-II. Hope that helps and good luck.
Thanks!
Just the video I needed. Thank you, Sir. I used a pump and made mess. That funnel is handy. Wonder where you got it. Also, the dust cover take down presented challenges for me but learned to deal with the rivets.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I added the following to the description: FloTool Hopkins 10704 Measu-Funnel with On/Off Spout amzn.to/3RBQhQl
Thanks 😮😮
Thanks for the great vidio. Can you please tell me whitch funnel that you used. Thanks.
Please see description below video for quick link.
Hello where did u get the funnel? Do you know the length of it from the bottom to the on/off thing? Also where do u get the Amsoil? Do you get it directly from their website?
I got the funnel at ACE hardware (will have to get back to you on hose length). I buy my Amsoil at ACE hardware or Fleet Farm when they run a special (10% to 15% off anything in the bag), rewards cash, or have a sale. Hope that helps.
Hello I have a 2014 Legacy with 80k miles and tomorrow I'll be changing the front and back diff. I was trying to find a funnel that you use so that I don't have to pump it which can be time consuming. I'm just not sure how long of a hose I'll need to reach from the top of the engine like u used. I know for the back one I'll probably have to pump it in. I bought 3 of the Valvoline and this will be the first time I'm going to using it. I hope it doesn't have any issues since I'm not using the Subaru one.@@justbehandy
@subieguy8700 Valvoline is good stuff. I just went out to the garage and measured the hose. It is only 12 inches long. If you are using another type of funnel, may be better off with 18 inches. Hope that helps.
When you tried to loosen the fill plug did u tried to loosen it from the top or was there just too much stuff and it was easier from the bottom?? I think that would be my only challenge. I wonder if taking off the tire is going to be much more easier....@@justbehandy
@subieguy8700 good morning! There was too much stuff in the way from the top on the Outback. Hope that helps 😃
Why is the fill plug different from the check plug? Can you not pump the oil into the check hole?
Think of the check plug as a vertical tube that is at the correct level in the differential. Once the fluid level starts to get above the tube opening it starts to drain down. If you try to fill from the check plug, you may not be able to push fluid up the tube properly, and it will be hard to gauge if the differential is full, or just fluid draining back. Hope that helps.
@@justbehandy Thank you for answering my question and clearing up my confusion. Your coverage of the topic has been very helpful.
Did that top fill plug have a gasket?
Yes, please see description for part number.
Just a heads up - I believe there is a small typo in the description: the larger gasket part number is incorrect (but the Amazon link is still correct).
Instead of: "Subaru Genuine Drain Plug Gasket need 1 (larger gasket) - 803918090"
Should be: "Subaru Genuine Drain Plug Gasket need 1 (larger gasket) - 803926090"
Thanks!
It is 3.6L engine?
This demonstration was on the 2.4 L .
@@justbehandy 3.6 different processes?
Agree, this is for the 2.4L
@@justbehandywould your outback be Manual Transmission? I urgently need to do this to my 2015 MT, awesome vids by the way, thank you Sir, big fan!
@hectorreymundo4215 thank you! sorry it's an automatic. I wish I could help. Check with your library to see if they have service manuals.
