Every Subaru except the BRZ is symmetrical all-wheel drive with a boxer engine, which means four CV axles, two differentials, and spark plugs that sit inches from the frame rails. Parts differ between the older EJ engines (timing belt) and the newer FB and FA engines (timing chain), so the engine code matters as much as the model.
What’s different about Subaru filters and fluids
- Subaru's front differential is a separate sump from the CVT on most models and is often forgotten; front and rear differentials take 75W-90 gear oil on their own interval.
- Lineartronic CVTs use Subaru CVTF, but turbo models and the Ascent use a High Torque CVTF that is not interchangeable; older 4- and 5-speed automatics use ATF HP.
- Subaru Super Coolant (blue) replaced the green formula around 2008, and older 2.5 engines with a history of head gasket leaks call for Subaru's cooling system conditioner.
