Transmission fluid change

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how often do you need to do transmission fluid change? The car has 43k on it and regular services at the dealer.

Do it if you got time.

It's not bad at all.

Good luck.

It's a fairly straight forward job if you have a couple hours to blow.

Here's a useful tool if you have maintenance scheduling questions:https://www.subaru.com/my-subaru/mai...edule2006.html

Torx T-70 bit is only required tool.
