Subaru Impreza, GK, GT (USA / CAN)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Subaru Impreza, GK, GT (USA / CAN) models require differential fluid with a capacity range of 0,8 to 1,3 liters. Service intervals include checking every 30000 miles or 30 months and changing every 15000 miles or 15 months. The data covers 8 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The front differential on the Subaru Impreza GK/GT 2.0i, which draws fluid from the CVT, holds 1.3 liters across both the 2016-2019 and 2019-2023 model ranges, while the rear differential holds a notably smaller 0.8 liters, reflecting the compact, integrated nature of the rear unit in an AWD layout.
  • Under normal use conditions, both the front CVT-sourced differential and the rear differential share the same check interval of every 30,000 miles or 30 months, with no fluid change specified at that interval.
  • Under severe use conditions, the front CVT-sourced differential carries a fluid change interval of 15,000 miles or 15 months, alongside the same 30,000-mile or 30-month check interval also present in the normal use schedule.
  • The rear differential under severe use conditions specifies only a fluid change at 15,000 miles or 15 months, without a separate check interval listed alongside, distinguishing the rear unit's severe-use schedule from the front differential's severe-use schedule.
  • Capacity figures for both the front and rear differentials remain identical between the 2016-2019 and 2019-2023 model year groups, with 1.3 liters for the CVT-sourced front differential and 0.8 liters for the rear differential in each range.
