YEAH!!!!! Thank you. I have this exact problem on my 2011 Impreza. Just checked why you said and boom, that was the rattle!!!!' You're my hero dude thank you!!!!!!
Great video with good detail and excellent vantage points to see all. Enough to tell me I have no business doing this myself. Gonna have to suck it up and pay $175 to get it changed. Thank you.
03' Forester w 365 K miles; never changed differential, transmission, or brake fluids; still use it everyday; but I am very religious about engine oil, change that every 3-5 K
I used a long tube to fill the fill plug from the engine top side. Fill plug was really hard to break loose. Had to spray it and bang it with a long pipe.
Yea same here. If I remember correctly, the camera wasn't on when breaking that one loose. Had to retighten and film it again. That's why it looked easy!
Just kidding on that last comment. But on a serious note. That tire sitting off to the side, slide it under the car in a position that would support the car if you have the car come off the jack stands, I do this with a 4x4 place on top. Its cheap insurance
I'm thinking that if the rear wheel is on the ramp with parking brakes it should be okay right? If it was the front, I'd be nervous that the car would roll forward on the ramp.
Before watching this I filled on the driver side and had to drain the cvt! 😂 Nice video appreciate the detail.

Thank you for the excellent video. I sure this helps many Subaru CVT transmission owners out there.

Yea it definitely takes some time! $175 sounds like a good price.
I can’t believe you were able to record so well all this!!!! Thank you
Sure thing. It is a lot of editing afterwards but love to show and help people.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. I was going to start the process tomorrow, changing diffs but i had to order the gaskets. Amazon has them.
Anytime. Hope everything goes good for you!
Best video yet!
Thanks for watching!

Wow that's amazing. I'd say your going on a prayer!
Really good video. Thanks very much.
You are welcome!
I can so relate to what happened at the 12:10 mark .. LOL

I heard last minute you said 3' extension....
Thanks for the video. Takes the mystery out of the process. My Forester has over 76K on it. I will do this at 80K.
Anytime my friend. I just added the gasket numbers for the front and rear diffs.
Es el aceite de la caja de cambio??? Que alguien me responda de manera urgente porfavor!!
Both front and rear differential fluid look quite clean. How many miles on them?
Thanks for the question! Around 40k.
How long is the extension bar that you used for the front fill plug?
Total of 26 inches. 2 3 inch and 1 20 inch extension. Sorry for the late response.
Do you have to loosen your exhaust pipe to torque the rear lower drain plug to swing the wrench?
Nope. Was a tight fit though!
What is the torque value on the allen bolts?
You opened seem so easy, was it first time changing the fluid? Also how long is the extesion that you used on the front fill plug?
No, probably the third time. The extension was multiple ones put together. Around 26 inches in total.
@@lubetube. i changed diff fluid couple times for my 14 Forester already...always struggling with the front diff fill plug.
@@qtran7171Yea they're usually tight. But the "snap" sound it makes when you first loosen it always brings a smile to my face. 😃
Do you have to warm up the engine before changing the fluid?
Yes! Sorry did not show that.
It was a lot of works in a very difficult location
thank you
You're welcome
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Bad jacking practice with ramps no? Dangerous.
Thanks for your concern. I will consider your comment next time I do this service.
Naw he is safe I’ve seen and done worse 😂

@@tubefxmstr Its all good, I'm still alive. 😁
Thanks for the video. Where did you purchase the gaskets and do you know the part numbers
