Tint was added at the dealership before I bought it. Legacy's actually don't get tint like some of the other models.

I understand what you're saying, the fluid changing from blue to a green color after use does not mean it's bad. Unless you're having drivability issues, I wouldn't let this bother you. Fluid changing color is nothing new. Like I said before, I had gold oil turn red over a 6k mile interval. This isn't anything new in the oil world. Just don't be surprised if the dealership says this is normal and doesn't look much further into it.

Hello. Subaru doesn't use a green CVT fluid. It'll be either blue or amber in color depending on 2.5 or 2.4. As previously stated, there are two options for this model year and I believe the TR580 fluid is blueish. Keep in mind fluids will change color during thermal cycles. I've had engine oils turn red over 6k miles because of the additive package.

5W-30 was the recommended viscosity until the 2.4DIT. IMO, run the OEM recommended viscosity unless you see oil consumption. 0W-20 has no issue with the FA24DIT at the Subaru interval. These engines are also pretty good with fuel dilution, so the viscosity doesn't break down like other manufacturers.

I think you'll like it. The color is super nice, imo. They tend to do a good job with nice earthy colors for their models, specifically their outdoorsy ones. I actually wasn't much of a fan of the Abyss Blue, so I think this was a nice change. The MY23 head units have been updated a bit and now offer wireless Apple CarPlay, which was a surprise. I didn't even know that was offered yet.

Honestly the blue is the main reason why I decided to get the car. Its a new color that we are putting on the Ascent, Legacy and Outback and it looks so good. Its amazing how much it changes between the shade and sun.

Picked up the Legacy on Friday and had them put on the STI wheels I bought. I'm in love!

Hey all, Just picked up my MY23 Legacy Sport Turbo in Cosmic Blue. Had to throw on some STI 19's to make it my own. So far I'm in love!

The TCM is calibrated based on the specific vehicle spec. Even though our cars have the same engine and transmission, the TCM will either be a different part, or different calibrations. Its a same assumption, but its likely a mix between the two based on throttle input, load, etc.

You're not the only one. The TR580 doesn't seem to have as many issues as the TR690, but the power and overall load the CVT has to handle is much less. Likely a pressure issue causing the chain slippage. Dealers are required to follow TSB 16-132-20R when diagnosing. I'm pretty sure your CVT also had its warranty extended to 100k miles. 16-132-20R_071122-FORM.pdf

I would agree with you totally, only because the GT doesn't come with a manual. The fact the Sport now comes with a 2.4 I think its a game changer. It does have Si drive and heated steering wheel standard.

Hey all, Just wanted to introduce myself. I've owned quite a few Subaru's and happy to try out my new MY23 Legacy Sport in Cosmic Blue. Car is currently at the dealership going through PDI so hopefully get it here in the next week or so. I just ordered 2018+ STI 19's for it which should really make it pop. About myself - I've owned 8+ Subaru's and race my 06 STI in SCCA Solo events. I'm a Quality Engineer for Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. where these cars are built. Photo's attached of the new ride before it shipped and my STI.

l'm considering getting 2018+ STI Wheels in 19's. My 2023 Legacy Sport comes stock with 18's, so 225/45/19 is almost the identical diameter. I would love to see this fitment on a car.

Run what the factory recommends for viscosity. Nothing wrong with 0W-20 as long as you use an API certified synthetic and quality filter. I only run AMSOIL, but any name brand will honesty do just fine. 5W-30 will decrease fuel economy, increase cold flow viscosity, take longer to heat up and cause the oil bypass valve to bleed off oil pressure for longer periods of time. If you're not consuming oil, no reason to change to 5W-30.

As long as you drive your car frequently, I don't see any issue. If you're worried, turn your headlights to the "on" position (not auto) while driving and the alternator will instantly go to its full charging state.
