2024 Subaru Legacy repair guides

2024 Subaru Legacy transmission fluid type and capacity

The checked 2024 Legacy examples use a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Subaru's owner's manual says to consult a Subaru dealer for the CVT fluid type. Confirm the correct fluid and service procedure for your VIN before ordering or filling.

Capacity is not the drain-and-fill amount

Subaru lists a reference CVT capacity of 11.9 US qt for the 2.5L Legacy and 12.3 US qt for the 2.4L Legacy. The owner's manual describes these quantities as guidelines. They are not a verified amount to pour in after a routine drain. Use the applicable service procedure and level-check method.
