Auto Transmission Fluid in 2.5L Outback

Adam Helberg

OK, I found the dipstick for the auto transmission fluid in my 2.5L 2002 Outback. My level is
at the lower end of normal. Now where do I fill extra fluid and is it important that the fluid
added be of the same brand as what's in the car?

Hi,
If you checked with engine cold, that sounds normal.
You check it with fluid in operating temp.

Your owners manual will tell you how to check the fluid level when warm/hot
which is the preferred way. The recommended AT trans fluid is Dexron (3 or
2). It is very easy to over fill which is a no no. Eddie

With all respect this does not answer my question, which is: where do I add extra fluid and can
I mix brands?

Through the dipstick tube, and I'd stick with one brand rather than mixing
them.

My under standing is that Ford and GM (dexron 1) had 2 percent whale oil in
the mix. Later AT fluids do not. Eddie
