Btw the rear differential torque spec is 36 ft-lb not 27 ft-lb. 27ft-lb is only for the transmission. I did 27ft-lb for the diff and now I have to lift the car up again to get the torque to 36 ft-lb. Please put an annotation in the video so others won't make the same mistake as me.
Also it's not necessary to remove the metal skid plate. You only need to remove the 10 millimeter bolts to take off the soft black part right under the transmission itself.
Motul 300 75w-90 LS for the rear diff!!! Motul 300 75w-90 for the transmission. I could be wrong;, but I've never put regular gear oil in a limited slip or put oil with a friction modifier in the trans. Now with open diffs you can use regular gear oil.
86 and BRZ have torsen gear diff, not clutch type lsd. It doesn't require friction modifier like a clutch type does. You can use regular gear oil in a torsen like in an open diff.
I don't think there is going to be a difference in longevity between the two oil. But i think that friction modifiers can change the torque biasing of the diff. Running a thicker or a thinner oil grade will also do. I personally would put the same oil in trans and diff and save money over buying two differents oil.
@@lordvesel the official Service Manual from the manufacturer says that we need an oil with "LS" written on it, even though the gt86 has a Torsen Limited Slip (LS) Differential without clutch ...

This is all good for manual transmissions, but what about automatic transmissions? Automatic transmissions look very different than the manual transmissions. What is the procedure for replacing the automatic transmissions? Thanks in advance.
Hey guys sorry I'm late for this video but did anybody ever find out for an automatic car how often should the transmission and differential oil be changed?
vision1707 hey, so I’m a senior tech at vavoline and I searched up service for my car and it said that transmission should be done every 135,000 miles or 60 months. As for the diff it’s every 15,000 miles or 15 months. Also want to point out that all the info from valvoline is straight from Toyota so there the correct time intervals.
@@a.o.647 Rear diff should be gear oil. The automatic transmission is just whatever atf you want to use. Look up the owners manual for capacities. Just depends on what your doing and how much you want to spend for what brand you buy
Motul sells atf fluid. I ordered the motul gear oil as seen on this video for the rear differential, then moguls atf fluid for trans. Also picked up 0w20 royal purple oil for that fluid change too. I spent a lot of time trying to find the most recommended fluid for the auto trans on this car
My car makes a whining noise while driving. I can’t remember if it always did this and it’s not when I push in the clutch. I’m hoping changing my transmission fluid will help. What do you guys think it could be?
The transmission oil and differential oil is not the same. Dealership also confirmed they are different. You can’t put gear oil inside a transmission, you need the Subaru ATF oil
Yes your right if that’s an automatic. What he did was for a manual transmission car. I did the same thing with my girlfriends WRX same fluids in transmission and differential
@@quarkymatter ATF is Automatic Transmission Fluid. Lol gear oil is for manual trans and differential. I used motul 300 ATF for my auto trans FRS and motul 300 75w90 gear oil for the differential.
@@oof578 exactly why I was confused because I told the guy I needed transmission fluid for my automatic BRZ and he still gave me gear oil. It was a close call lol
If it doesn't leak and the teeth are in good condition then you don't have to if you don't want to but it is advisable to replace the washers after two or three uses.
Motul is not the only option, but it's what we choose to use in our cars. Here's the rest of your options - www.ft86speedfactory.com/drivetrain-41/oil-137.html
No and it doesn’t say that, it says it contains both of them but you can choose either the trans or diff, and if you want both then you need 2 separate orders, one contains the trans and the other the diff
MAKE SURE YOUR CAR IS LEVEL! Trans needs 2.3L and the diff needs 1.1 L. I under filled mine due to my car being unlevel and my gears started grinding due to not enough oil. Don’t make the same mistake I did!
The procedure is pretty similar only that you will refill through the automatic transmission's dipstick and keep on checking the level until it's enough. However, DO NOT USE the fluid you see in this video. It is not made for automatic transmission. Refill with a fluid called ATF, Automatic Transmission Fluid, usually pink when new.
It’s used in manual transmissions and differentials. It’s been through millions of miles of successful race testing so I wouldn’t worry about using it on both.
@@doanjn Yeah, but it is still suppose to depend on the type of differential. Your answer does not mention that. Racing with what ? an aftermarket locking diff ? the optionnal torsen ? The manual is pretty clear about that : same oil could be ok for open diffs, but lsd specific required for torsens (though dealers would use open diff oil in torsens in France).
@@Jay10292 I did a search and found pics and how to do it on a forum. There's no video for the automatic but its a much more involved process than a manual
Crush washers “crush” when being torqued to spec, so it creates a super tight seal, but when you remove it it’s not like a rubber gasket that rebounds, it’s broken and does not hold an air tight seal anymore. However people still reuse their old crush washer if it’s in good condition
I did this yesterday. However when I was on my 3rd quart and half the bottle the transmission did not spill, does that mean it's underfilled even I followed the owner's manual of 2.3quarts?

Nah they don't give a fuck so they ain't gonna put an annotation.
Wow good catch man! wtf on their part
Vichet Meng and also they didn’t shuffle through the transmission to replace the old ATF with the new ATF
I wish I had a car lift. Makes things so much easier
I hear you. I have a gravel driveway. Makes it really difficult.
If you cant get a lift, try to see if you can get a set of quick jacks. Its the next best thing.
Hi are you still alive?@@djsnaps12
FYI no need to take out the hard skid plate only the soft one needs to be removed
please attend to the error in torque spec for the diff
Might also add that you have a manual trans.
Hi, how are you? Thanks for the video. Which magnetic drain plug was used in the gearbox and in the diff? Link is not working. Thanks a lot.
This oil you used says in description not for limited slip differential’s??????? Why you using it then?
Isn't the motul 300 API GL-5? I believe the trans calls for GL-3 or GL4?
Owner manual says GL-5
Helpful ✌🏼
correct me if im wrong but the rear diff uses motul gear 300 ls limited slip?
Correct !! 👍🏼
What about automotic transmission ?

From a past Subbie dealer we always added friction modifier additive on diff change.
Don’t use that on your diff use 90pa . I blew up a diff with that gear oil
but for the rear diff, isn't it the "300 LS" instead of the "300", that we need?
I believe the LS is for differentials with clutches.
