on GM's site, dexron 4 is backwards compatible with dexron 3....but does anyone know if dexron 4 is safe for the subaru power steering system?

Just use what the manual says to. How is that so hard? If youre having so much trouble go buy some from the dealer. Is it worth saving a couple dollars if you mess up the steering system because you were cheap?

apparently you're not into reading and finding out new stuff
who said i'm having trouble?.i brought up a question. dexron 4 is a new formulation introduced in 06, and the manual was written before 02 and specs dexron 3.

i suppose you're stuck in the 90s with your ride
