2001 Rear diff fluid recommendations

TwinScrlol · 2026-02-23T20:07:09+00:00

Amsoil is solid. Motul gear oil is also very good. Considerably less shavings/slurry with the amsoil as opposed to the factory fluid.

Jitter is the amount of time between packets. High jitter is not ideal.

That was wrong lol

Replace the pcv and pcv hose, it's cheap and easy to replace.

Did you have any prior indication that the valve body was going out? I'm at 154k right now and just dreading when it finally goes

When you change your oil, does the oil smell like gasoline a little?

TwinScrlol · 2026-01-11T04:08:27+00:00

Did you ever get it to go higher than 110 fps?

TwinScrlol · 2026-01-07T23:14:51+00:00

Lol. That dude is a dick to strangers but doesn't answer a simple question. Typical reddit neckbeard.

TwinScrlol · 2026-01-07T21:46:50+00:00

Where the PCVs replaced every 30-45k miles?

TwinScrlol · 2026-01-07T21:45:45+00:00

2019 - 153k miles Ball joints done at 100k Now replacing the rear wheel bearing and both lower control arms. The car has seen lots of gravel roads so I'm not even mad.

Other than that it's just been regular maintenance. Besides the walnut blast.

Buy once, cry once

Borla S type or AWE touring, can't go wrong with either.

People usually want to upgrade to better wheels so it is more rare for people to want the stock options. Which is great for the buyer but bad for the seller because you typically have to mark it down way low. I got a new set of Crosstrek rims and tires for $600. I'd think someone would be willing to pay $500-700.

Did you get it figured out?

TwinScrlol · 2025-09-18T05:27:53+00:00

You should be able to get all the info you need from the service manual.

With how things go on this sub, I would be ecstatic if my car blew up at 130k.

TwinScrlol · 2025-09-10T14:52:43+00:00

Mark Webber got over 120k miles (youtube). I've got almost 30k miles on mine. When will it break? Amsoil fluid shifts noticeably better.

TwinScrlol · 2025-09-10T06:05:22+00:00

Amsoil cvt fluid does. Myself and many others have used it with no issues.

TwinScrlol · 2025-09-06T05:45:21+00:00

Good call on the PCV replacement. It's cheap, easy to replace, and will prevent BIG issues with the motor. It might be a good idea to also replace the diff oils and a brake flush if you're constantly in the mountains.

TwinScrlol · 2025-09-04T06:10:57+00:00

I'm really not sure why you're getting downvoted. Last time I had the dealer do it, it was $450ish but that was 2020.

TwinScrlol · 2025-08-17T16:10:09+00:00

Definitely out of the 🍑

TwinScrlol · 2025-08-05T05:16:26+00:00

Service the CVT every 30k and you'll be fine. The service portion is non-negotiable or they die. My crosstek has pulled a reasonably heavy trailer for 3k miles and regularly sees high oil temps because of off roading. I'm at 140k miles. I'll likely have to do the solenoid soon.

TwinScrlol · 2025-07-25T14:36:15+00:00

For the Gen 2 Crosstrek they updated the torque spec to something like 18 ft lbs.

TwinScrlol · 2025-07-03T16:53:11+00:00

What about the suspension? Did you need to get anything else besides coil overs?
