You can use any 75w90 gear oil, but subaru probably recommends some specific one.

Is it just me, or this place sometimes feeling like Nasioc? Ya know, people not searching and what not. 
Yes, it's a Torx 70 and subaru's OEM fluid is a great fluid to use. In fact, I think there's a guy selling some in norcal classifieds so you won't have to buy a 55 gallon drum.

I have tried Swepco 201 and am currently on Subaru Extra-S, and prefer the Extra-S. Neither Swepco 201 nor Extra-S is synthetic though. Stick with GL-5 unless you have shifting problems. I bought a couple of quarts from AHQ.

Sorry I'm on my phone so I can't see profiles but of your near the east bay, livermore subaru sells extra-s by the quart if you bring your own container, or auto hq sells it by the quart in redwood city.
