PearlBlueGT Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 No need to replace that filter unless it's physically damaged. Isn't it a filter afterall? What is the purpose of the filter? Isn't it to filter out contaminants from the fluid? I'd rather replace a filter than tranny from damage done by dirt/shavings. Perhaps Subaru would like you to buy a transmission from them rather than replacing a filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to wear your tin foil hat when you sleep, otherwise the government will steal your dreams... There's no harm in changing it if you feel like spending the money. Make sure you don't leave the o-ring on there though, as it apparently has a tendency to stick and keeping two o-rings there will result in a leak.

Our car has over 100K miles on it, it wouldn't hurt to change it at that many miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
