Oil change - NO Transmission fluid

[Grinder12000]

Went to a Take 5 oil change with a Crosstrek with 58,000 miles - ZERO issues EVER (except the radio), not one drip from anything on garage floor.

Drove off after the oil change and car acted REALLY odd, like it was missing a gear or something. Went back immediately. They went with me around the block, checked the oil. Oil fine but one guy said it might be the differential. Drove 10 miles to the Subaru shop.

I basically had no transmission fluid - down 4 quarts. Take 5 said NOT US WE never went near the transmission plug.

UMM - where did it go? Does it evaporite? Never leaked. All of a sudden AFTER an oil change?

Opinions? Comments welcome. I'm not a car expert (anymore) but it REALLY seems fishy. Cost $400

Never go to a quick change shop. They're main job is to destroy cars. Take it to a reputable shop and have it diagnosed then give that slip to the Take 5 and get them to authorize to pay for whatever the repair bill is..in writing.

There have been several stories where after going to a quick change shop the Subaru CVT fluid was gone, and the oil was way overfilled. I wonder about the OP's oil being fine, it may be way overfilled.

It was checked like 5 times at Take 5 and Subaru - no issues with oil

tried that - they refused to take any responsibility - repeated a Crosstrek has oil and Transmission fluid on opposite sides of the car front and back - not sure if this is true or not
