if you have a search around on the top half of the gear box, you may want to find a round screw bung thing with a square head on it, should fit a socket.

Adding gear oil is a ache in the butt. you must use a funnel and stand back. Look in your owner's manual in the maintenance part and they'll show you where to find the drain plug and the fill plug.

ya I totally agree with the ache in the butt part I could recomend purchasing a little hand pump to pump the liquid up in there with so that you don't make as bad of a mess. You could be amazed at how much liquid you may be able to waste with a funnel and trying to get the stuf in there. Its hard enough on a truck where you have some room to roll around, let alone under a subie which I dunno bout you but I can barely get under mine to change the oil without putting it up on little car ramps and if you put it up on them you better do it under al four tires in your case so the tranny stays level since the add plug is the fill level usually :p good luck and look in the manual for the place of the plugs if you can not find them yourself
