So I have a 2010 Forester XT. 32k miles on it. Had it since 25k. Checked the fluid the other day and noticed it wasn't even on the dipstick. So I filled it up with the ATF we had in the garage... Which was most definitely not ATF-HP (Found out that's what it took after I already dumped 2-3 quarts in of regular super tech...I know i know)
Anyways I drove it with the Super tech crap for a couple days and then dropped the fluid in the pan and filled it back up with Royal purple MAX ATF. It still seems to shift firm tho almost like a manual....ish.. is that normal? I honestly can t remember how it shifted before I noticed the fluid was really low.
I'm wondering if I need to spend even more money now and get it all changed out with Subaru's ATF. They want like $15 a quart here in Alaska.
If its not normal for this car to shift firmly then what might the diagnosis be?
