I've read through the owners handbook and all it says is For adding, use genuine SUBARU coolant or an equivalent: a mixture of 50% soft water and 50% ethelyne-glycol basis coolant. Apologies in advance if that isn't the correct approach.Īnyway, like the thread originator I'm planning on swapping out my coolant hoses in the very near future and I need help with the type of coolant to put back in. I know its almost a year since this thread was last posted on, but since its the same topic I didn't see any point in starting a new thread. Even regular coolant flushes wouldnt avoid the problem in many cases. Subarus from very roughly 2000 to 2010 were prone to head gasket leaks and the conditioner was just a band-aid to help avoid a potential problem but it wouldnt fix one if it was already there.
I've found a very useful pages that explains coolant in detail. The Subaru conditioner is just stop-leak. Here you will find an overview of Coolant fluid for SUBARU replacement parts in our spare parts.
#Do i need to use genuine subaru coolant full
how much coolant is there in a classic Impreza if doing a full flush.? I'm beng told conflicting info from 4 litres to 7 litres. Original Subaru Engine coolant at amazing prices. Factory filled Subaru Super Coolant is meant for 11 years.
Anyway most folks change cars in 5-7 year span. Subaru Super Coolant already has this conditioner in its content. is there a certain type.?Īnd most importantly. To 'add Genuine SUBARU Cooling System Conditioner' means you have to add it to a regular (non Subaru) coolant. There are specifics types that are suitable for the alloy blocks and I gather it needs to be long-life (logically all cars generally use long life these days).ĭoes anyone know what brand is best suited to them. I could buy Subaru branded coolant which I'm sure is nothing more than a main brand with a Subaru label on it and at an extortionate price. I can't find one definitive answer to what type of coolant is best recommended for Subarus. I need to replace the coolant on the wagon (GF8) this week as the rad is being replaced. I'm aslo quite lazy when it comes to searchng Google hence I started this post for future reference for others. They may be some reference on the forum to this but I can't find any exact answer.
