The 2010 Subaru Forester uses API GL-5 75w-90 oil for manual transmissions. For automatic transmissions, Subaru recommends using Subaru ATF Idemitsu ATF hp "Dexron iii" type automatic transmission fluid. It is recommended to change Your transmission fluid every 80,000 miles. If You don't change the transmission fluid on schedule, You'll be lubricating Your transmission with metal shavings and other contaminants. This will shorten the transmission's life. It's important to regularly check the transmission fluid level between service intervals. Letting Your car run low on transmission fluid can cause the transmission to shift improperly or not at all. Checking the transmission fluid consists of pulling the transmission dipstick out while the engine is warmed up and running and with the transmission in park.
