I gues thast what you get when the dealership is a GM/Pontiac/Kai/Cadiliac/Subaru, and to this day on its lot doesn't have a single 08 wrx sti...


Yeah, I mean it makes sense. they are in business to make money like everyone else. Why would they pay $22 for the proper diff oil when they could just use some generic crap out of a 5 gallon drum for $2? It keeps $20 in their pockets and no one will ever know the difference. What difference does it make to them if your clutch style limited slip diff is working the way it should? As long as the car isn't going to explode on its way off the lot they don't care.

I have heard of hybrid dealerships, but 5 different makes on one lot? LOL good thing you steered clear of that. You'd end up with some ****ty Korean Kia bull**** in your STI LOL

I'm glad I read this thread. My car is ready for its 30K service, but I have already gotten almost all the things recommended done!
Brake fluid replaced, lines not bled though.
center, and rear diff oil changed
oil changed MANY times!!
K and N air filter-- clean
Can I trust a place like EZ Lube to have the correct rear diff oil for an 05??????
Now, I just wonder how my banjo bolt filters are???

^^^ I wouldn't trust an EZ lube ever!
ive heard horror stories of diffs being emptied and engines double filled. This is on a multitude of cars not just an STI.
