i replaced all oils in my car when i bought it a year ago. box/diff/engine.
i then had them all replaced again 6 months later.
i then had the gearbox oil changed a few months ago because of the cold change problem. and just recently (before warranty ran out) i had a new diff and oil put in thanks to a loud whine at 100kph. also common according to subaru.

so the oils are all good, clean, fresh. being that i've worked and work for dealers and that this is the first "newish" car i've ever owned (only ever 30 year old datto 1600's) i've been very fastidious in keeping it tip top. and due to paranoia, i've always treated my clutch and gearbox well.
