>>It pays to read the forums on the specific model to learn the truth.
Absolutely, I've gleaned lots of info from the various Subaru forums over the years.
I changed the ATF in my old Forester 4 times mainly because it was discoloured and there was a rubbing noise (brake bands?) when selecting drive.
It never gave me any trouble though, and was still going strong when I part exed it for a CRV.
My XV (CVT) doesn't have a dipstick (apart from me) but that goes to the main dealer in Devon whom I trust, and doesn't charge like the light brigade!
