REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE COOLANT
| WARNING | The radiator is of the pressurized type. Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap immediately after the engine has been stopped. |
Scheme 26
- Lift-up the vehicle.
- Remove the under cover.
- Place a container under drain pipe.
- Loosen and remove the drain cock to drain engine coolant into container. see scheme 62: Locating Drain Cock
- For quick draining, remove the radiator cap. CAUTION: Be careful not to spill coolant on the floor.
- Drain the coolant from reservoir tank.
- Tighten the drain cock securely after draining coolant.
- Pour cooling system conditioner through the filler neck. Cooling system protecting agent: Cooling system conditioner (part number SOA635071)
- Slowly pour the coolant from radiator filler port to neck of filler. Then, pour the coolant into reservoir tank up to "FULL" level. Coolant capacity (fill up to "FULL " level) Turbo AT model Approx. 7.3 l (7.7 US qt, 6.4 Imp qt) Turbo MT model Approx. 7.4 l (7.8 US qt, 6.5 Imp qt) Non-turbo A T model Approx. 6.8 l (7.2 US qt, 6.0 Imp qt) Non-turbo MT model Approx. 6.9 l (7.3 US qt, 6.1 Imp qt) NOTE: The SUBARU Genuine Coolant containing antifreeze and anti-rust agents is especially made for SUBARU engine, which has an aluminum crank-case. Always use SUBARU Genuine Coolant, since other coolant may cause corrosion.
- Close the radiator cap (on Non-turbo models) or the coolant filler tank cap (on Turbo models), start the engine and race 5 to 6 times at less than 3,000 rpm, then stop the engine. (Complete this operation within 40 seconds.)
- Wait for one minute after the engine stops, then open the radiator cap (on Non-turbo models) or the coolant filler tank cap (on Turbo models). If the engine coolant level drops, add engine coolant into the radiator filler neck (on Non-turbo models) or the coolant filler tank filler neck (on Turbo models) up to the filler neck position.
- Perform the procedures 10) and 11) again.
- Close the radiator cap (on Non-turbo models) or the coolant filler tank cap (on Turbo models), and the reservoir tank cap.
- Start the engine and operate the heater at maximum hot position and the blower speed setting to "LO"
- Run the engine at 2,000 rpm or less until radiator fan starts and stops. NOTE: Be careful with the engine coolant temperature gauge to prevent overheating.
- Stop the engine and wait until the engine coolant temperature lowers to 30°C (86°F).
- Open the radiator cap (on Non-turbo models) or the coolant filler tank cap (on Turbo models). If the engine coolant level drops, add engine coolant into the radiator filler neck (on Non-turbo models) or the coolant filler tank filler neck (on Turbo models) up to the filler neck position. Then, pour the coolant into reservoir tank up to "FULL" level.
- Close the radiator cap (on Non-turbo models) or the coolant filler tank cap (on Turbo models), and the reservoir tank cap.
- Set the heater setting to maximum hot position and the blower speed setting to "LO" and start the engine. Perform racing at less than 3,000 rpm. If the flowing sound is heard, repeat the procedures from 15) again.
