im using millers crx 75w90 nt. I think its 3.5 litres for a 5 speed gearbox.

buy a 5 litre bottle which then leaves 1.5 to use in the rear diff.

correct oil for the rear diff of this car but be careful as some Subaru's use a specific LSD oil for the rear diff..........

Would this oil be ok for a new age STI gearbox and rear diff? Or would something else suit it better?

Gear box id probably say yes but as above some diff's need a specific oil, not sure on a newage.
