No such thing as a "lifetime" filter, you were right to change it.

Cheers for covering this dude, nice and simple instructions and a few good detailed FYIs. Much appreciated

Outstanding video. Best of any I have watched on any subject. Clear and easy to follow. Color me very impressed.

Thanks for the informative video. Just done this on my 06 forester while upgrading my leaky radiator to a Koyorad. Only issue I found was that since you have to refill via the dipstick, it took a while for it to fully drain down the filler neck in order to get an accurate reading on the dipstick.

I liked this video very much im getting a faint thud just before i come to a complete stop

I have a big ol turboxs tmic. No need to take them off. Get a felxible house funnel. You can snake it down into the filler neck

There is one inside the pan too. But overall great video!

Excellent!

great video man im gonna do this soon so thank you. do you know how many quarts of fluid you put in ?

2010 Forester X, 160k mi I've found that my trans starts shifting rough after about 30k miles and a change with Castrol Multivehicle Import smooths it out again.

Should I let it warm up and change the gear for 10sec or can i do it while it cold?

does it matter or affect your car if you change the trans spin on filter at the last drain or the first drain? Should you do it last or just change it on the first drain and keep draining it??

how many quarts do you put back in after flush with filter ?

What about the filter that is inside of a trans?

Hello. Great content. I was wondering about fluid. The manual for a 2005 Forester XS only says use Dexron iii. Do you have a recommendation. Not finding this easily and getting mixed answers. Thanks.

If I remember correctly when I researched it I was having the same issues. As far as I can tell you can use Dexron iii and above because the new ones are backwards compatible. But then you have people not wanting to use the new ones because the manufacturer made the vehicle for that specific fluid. I'm fine using either.

I'd stay away from valvolime multi vehicle atf. I'd used it before no problems, the most recent bottle I bought and used was an updated formula to meet more specs, and I've been having problems since. Going to do a couple drian and fills with subaru oem hoping that helps

@@amc7902 That's shitty I'm sorry to hear that... You aren't the only one that's had that problem though. I know others who did the same thing that are trying to find a fix. After some research, apparently there are tons of forums talking about the foresters needing specific fluids and filters made by subaru or your transmission starts having problems finding gear or revving wrong or clunking on upshift. Lots have made the mistake apparently.. I can go find the forum again and link it below if you're interested.

Did you put synthetic in it after it ran for years on regular atf? Id bet so

you said that last check on the dip stick you do it hot because you just test drove it. do you check hot with the motor off or running????

Super late. Just picked up a 05 Forester with 94k. Whats the purpose of flushing your transmission 2 or 3 times with a 2 weeks span? I plan on taking mine to a shop to get flushed but I can't imagine paying 3 times. Thanks! 🤙

To do a real flush, you need to do it multiple times like this. The old fluid won’t all come out on the first flush.

Subaru says it's a lifetime filter, and odds are that you'll be OK if you never change it - probably 90% of foresteter drivers will never touch the ATF filter. But it can't hurt to change it, and having a fresh filter will ensure the new fluid stays cleaner, longer.

This isn't a flush. It's draining about 30% m/l of the transmission fluid. Most is inside the torque converter. Better than nothing though.

Sorry your cold air intake no good .!
