![]() ![]() ![]() Does not ship to AK, HI, PR or out of the USAĪs always, please do additional research with your exact VIN to confirm part numbers.This item ships by ground to the Lower 48 Continental United States ONLY.Required for use in all warranty repairsĬompatible with most Subaru models including Baja, BRZ, Forester, Impreza, Justy, Legacy, Loyale, Outback, STi, SVX, Tribeca, WRX and XT.Eliminates need for additional corrosion inhibitors.Protects against corrosion with organic corrosion inhibitor.Provides cold-weather protection to -62☏.The tiniest nick in that check valve seat will keep the system from pressurizing and water slowly simmers off.Genuine OEM Subaru Long Life Super Coolant is formulated for long-lasting corrosion and rust protection for all cooling system components, this pre-diluted blue antifreeze/engine coolant prevents the use of poor quality water that can lead to cooling system failure. If there is a chronic slow loss of coolant without any evidence of leakage, the first thing to check/replace is the radiator cap. The radiator cap is designed to vent fluid only after pressure exceeds, what is it, like 9 psi? 13? That is the main contributor to raising the boiling temp. Well, yeah, but I didn't want anyone's head to explode.Īs long as we're on the subject, let's also discuss the fact that it's a closed system. That's why they call it coolant now instead of just "antifreeze." So water and coolant both function to cool the engine. By raising the boiling point, you make the fluid in the system continue to cool the engine at a higher temperature. When the fluid in the system boils, it no longer cools the engine. Coolant not only lowers the freezing point, it also raises the boiling point of the fluid in the cooling system. As long as you check coolant level in radiator itself,, if radiator itself is totally full, no real worries for a while. I've found no leaks from my car, so no worries.just a normal situation.īottom line: I'd drive the car a while before worrying about it's coolant e if it gets any lower.then add as necessary. After the first replacement, the service interval is every 6 years / 75,000 miles. The color of this coolant is blue and the first replacement interval is 11 years / 137,500 miles. I'd guess these cars, when new, have some bubbles in the cooling system, so they can't get them totally full at the factory. All 2008MY STI models will be equipped with the new Subaru Super Coolant. I used Best available Prestone brand, as FRS coolant was same color (green).and I see no point in buying Prestone coolant which is premixed, as full strength coolant price is more product for the dollar. Noticed coolant somewhat low when it was new.after some miles driven.radiator was full, but overflow bottle showing no coolant.įinally topped it off to low coolant level when odometer showed about 17,000 miles. I have a 2015 FRS, purchased new, now with 21,330 miles on it. This stuff is all about a happy balance that keeps the owner happy, the OEM has a decent amount of wiggle room as long as you have something in the reservoir. I can confirm that the color matches and everything, you won't use more than 20% of the bottle to fill the reservoir tank so this should last you several years assuming no problems.Ī: Genuine Subaru SOA868V9270 Super Coolant: AutomotiveĮdit: I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong but I guarantee if you fill it up to "full" while it's cold you'll spill some out the top on a hot day running the car hard. I'm cheap and have no fear of coolant freezing due to my location, I'd put distilled water in if I didn't want to spend the money.īut OEM coolant is not that expensive if you want to be pedantic, and hey free shipping from Amazon. Pop the hood after your next long drive and see where it's at before adding some coolant, even if it's sitting at the low mark when cold you shouldn't have any problems as long as you don't leave it that way for too long. Coolant level fluctuates, it will be low when cold and high when warm, I wouldn't put any in while it was cold and significantly above the minimum line, definitely not at halfway. ![]()
