Scheme 21: DRAINING OF ENGINE COOLANT
  1. Lift-up the vehicle.
  2. Remove the under cover.
  3. Remove the drain plug to drain engine coolant into container. NOTE: Remove the radiator cap so that engine coolant will drain faster. If engine coolant adheres to the exhaust pipe, wipe it off completely. (Scheme 20): Locating Drain Plug
  4. Install the drain plug.

Scheme 22

Scheme 22: FILLING OF ENGINE COOLANT
  1. Pour cooling system conditioner through the filler neck. Cooling system protective agent: COOLING SYSTEM CONDITIONER (Part No. SOA635071)
  2. Fill engine coolant into the radiator up to filler neck position. Coolant capacity (fill up to "FULL" level): AT model: Approx. 6.9 l (7.3 US at, 6.1 lmp qt) MT model: Approx. 7.0 l (7.4 US qt, 6.2 lmp 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.
  3. Fill engine coolant into the reservoir tank up to "FULL" level. see scheme 6: Identifying Engine Coolant Into Reservoir Tank Level Mark
  4. Close the radiator cap and start the engine. Race 5 to 6 times at less than 3,000 rpm, then stop the engine. (Complete this operation within 40 seconds.)
  5. Wait for one minute after the engine stops, open the radiator cap. If the engine coolant level drops, add engine coolant into radiator up to the filler neck position.
  6. Perform the procedures 4) and 5) again.
  7. Attach the radiator cap and reservoir tank cap properly.
  8. Start the engine and operate the heater at maximum hot position and the blower speed setting to "LO".
  9. 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. If the radiator hose becomes to harden by the pressure of engine coolant, air bleeding operation seems to be almost completed.
  10. Stop the engine and wait until engine coolant temperature lowers to 30°C (86°F).
  11. Open the radiator cap. If the engine coolant level drops, add engine coolant into radiator up to the filler neck position and reservoir tank to "FULL" level.
  12. Attach the radiator cap and reservoir tank cap properly.
  13. Operate the heater at maximum hot position and the blower speed setting to "LO" and start the engine. Race at less than 3,000 rpm. If the flowing sound is heard at this time, perform the procedures from 9) again.

RELATIONSHIP OF SUBARU COOLANT CONCENTRATION AND FREEZING TEMPERATURE

The concentration and safe operating temperature of the SUBARU coolant is shown in the diagram. Measuring the temperature and specific gravity of the coolant will provide this information.

[Example]

If the coolant temperature is 25°C (77°F) and its specific gravity is 1.054 and the concentration is 35% (point A), the safe operating temperature is -14°C (7°F) (point B), and the freezing temperature is -20°C (-4°F) (point C).

Scheme 23

Scheme 7: Coolant Temperature Graph

PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE CONCENTRATION OF THE COOLANT

To adjust the concentration of the coolant according to temperature, find the proper fluid concentration in the above diagram and replace the necessary amount of coolant with an undiluted solution of SUBARU genuine coolant (concentration 50%).

The amount of coolant that should be replaced can be determined using the diagram. [Example]

Assume that the coolant concentration must be increased from 25% to 40%. Find point A, where the 25% line of coolant concentration intersects with the 40% curve of the necessary coolant concentration, and read the scale on the vertical axis of the graph at height A. The quantity of coolant to be drained is 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 lmp qt). Drain 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 lmp qt) of coolant from the cooling system and add 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 lmp qt) of the undiluted solution of SUBARU coolant.

If a coolant concentration of 50% is needed, drain all the coolant and refill with the undiluted solution only.

Replace the thermostat if the valve does not close completely at an ambient temperature or if the following test shows unsatisfactory results.

  1. Inspection method Immerse the thermostat and a thermometer in water. Raise water temperature gradually, and measure the temperature and valve lift when the valve begins to open and when the valve is fully opened. During the test, agitate the water for even temperature distribution. The measured value should meet the specification.

Note. Leave the thermostat in the boiling water for more than five minutes before measuring the valve lift. Hold the thermostat with a wire or the like to avoid contacting with container bottom.

Starting temperature to open

80 - 84°C (176-183°F)

Fully opens
