Two trans dipsticks

[LegAhhSee]

I have one on the passenger side and one on the drivers side, what r the for, i believe the one on the passenger side is for the transmission, what is the one on the drivers side for, also what fluid do i use in the front differential and were do i add it through, 2000 legacy BH5

OK one is for the front differential, one is for the transmission fluid (ATF).

If your car is right hand drive, then the passenger side is the transmission and driver is the front differential. Your owner's manual should show you what they need to be filled with.

Yes right hand drive but no owners manual, does both take atf

The passenger side in a RHD car takes ATF, and the driver side takes 75w90 gear oil.

This. Make sure you don't mix those two up!

Another way to tell what is what...

ATF=long dip stick

75-90 gear oil=short dip stick

Thanks alot for the info, the car has 150,000 km, will just draining the fluids and and replacing them be ok, or do i have to do a flush, and any idea of the capacity for the front diff, rear diff, and transmission, also should i drop the transmission oil pan.

Just a drain and fill will be fine... Your car has low miles/Km's on it so that will be just fine..

If you car has a drain plug, just use that.

Does the transmission really take 10.1 quarts of oil, and is this correct:

Front Diff= 1.3 quarts 75w 90
Rear Diff= 0.8 quarts 75w 90
Tranny= 10 quarts dextron lll ATF

Yes, it's correct, but if you just drain it, you'll probably only get 2.5-4qts out of it (depending on how long you let it drain). Make sure you measure approximately how much came out so you don't overfill when you refill it. If you really want to clean things out, after you've refilled it, drive it around (hard) a little while, bring it back in, drain and fill again. Kind of a Pseudo flush.

I'd recommend using Lubeguard ATF additive when you do the final fill too.

Ok so that. 10 qts include the oil that's in the TC, and u say drain it, refill it, drive it around hard a little, drain again and refilll, doubt I can get lubegaurd here, will synthetic atf be ok to use

[Wiscon_Mark]

Well, yes, the Lubeguard I suggested is just an additive that you put into the transmission fluid to keep temps even. there are probably equivalents you can get.

Do i have to remove the transmission oil pan or it not necessary, also i read were its not necessary to change the tranny filter if its not leaking or dented , any advice on that

[Wiscon_Mark]

You should change the external filter if the transmission has one (I believe it does). I don't see why you'd have to remove the pan.
