In 2006, the Subaru Forester holds around 10 quarts or more than 5 pints of transmission fluid, specifically using ATF 4 or Dexron VI Automatic transmission fluid. You can purchase these fluids at various automotive parts stores, major retail stores with auto centers, or online from reputable sellers. Prices typically vary between $4 and $14 per bottle. If you opt for a mechanic or auto technician to change the fluid, expect to pay an additional $40 to $98 for labor costs.

I found this info in the manual - Subaru recommends using Genuine Subaru Automatic Transmission Fluid Type-HP, IDEMITSU ATF HP, Castrol Transmax J, or Pennzoil ATF-J. It's interesting that some people mention Dexron VI instead. Just a heads up - the transmission holds 9.8 quarts, but about a gallon may not drain out during a fluid change.
