“New” Subaru High Torque CVT Fluid (SOA748V0200)
The new 2014 Turbo Forester is equipped with a new Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT). This new CVT utilizes a new transmission fluid, Subaru High
Torque CVT Fluid and is orange in color. The CVT fluid currently being used in the nonturbo vehicles (C-30 CVT Fluid blue in color) and the new (Subaru High Torque CVT
Fluid Orange in color) CAN NOT BE INTERCHANGED. Using the incorrect fluid will
result in transmission damage.
Since the 2014 Turbo Foresters are now making their way to the dealers, every dealer
will be automatically shipped (1) 5-gallon pail of the new Subaru High Torque CVT
Fluid. The part number for this fluid is SOA748V0200. Dealers will start receiving this
fluid over the next two weeks. Additional supply will be available through the normal
parts channels if additional fluid is needed.
If you have any questions, please contact you District Parts and Service Manager.
