There is a vendor on the Legacy boards that is bottling and selling Extra S by the quart.

Subaru 75w90 "Extra S" Synthetic Gear & Transmission Fluid - Quart Bottle

He is very reputable, I've bought from him many things.

UPDATE: ok so here w e go again w the same crap.just did my tranny fluid about a month ago. went from uncle scottys mix to Valvoline 75-90w. it really hasnt been bad, but lately ive been getting a light grind going into 4th. not all the time, depends on the rpm's. but i dont like it at all although i know is not too bad, but i dont want it to get any worse. any new opinions and/or sugestions will be apretiate it. im sure some of u have had this problem, and i would like to know what u did and or used to solve it (besides rebuilding it ofcourse) and no im not searching on Nasioc as is full of drama queens who can not give a simple opinion or sugestion.
