CAUTION

  1. Wear working clothing, including a cap, protective goggles, and protective shoes during operation.
  2. Remove contamination including dirt and corrosion before removal, installation or disassembly.
  3. Keep the disassembled parts in order and protect them from dust or dirt.
  4. Before removal, installation or disassembly, be sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, installation, disassembly, and replacement.
  5. Be careful not to burn your hands, because each part in the vehicle is hot after running.
  6. Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
  7. Place shop jacks or safety stands at the specified points.
  8. Before disconnecting electrical connectors of sensors or units, be sure to disconnect negative terminal from battery.

Scheme 57

Scheme 57: FILLING OF ENGINE COOLANT
  1. Fill engine coolant into radiator up to the filler neck position. Coolant capacity (fill up to "FULL" level): Non-turbo AT model: Approximately, 6.9 l (7.29 US qt, 6.07 Imp qt) Non-turbo MT model: Approximately, 7 l (7.4 US qt, 6.2 Imp qt) Turbo AT model: Approximately, 7.6 l (8.03 US qt, 6.69 Imp qt) Turbo MT model: Approximately, 7.7 l (8.14 US qt, 6.78 Imp qt) CAUTION: The SUBARU Genuine Coolant containing antifreeze and anti-rust agents is especially made for SUBARU engine, which has an aluminum crankcase. Always use SUBARU Genuine Coolant, since other coolant may cause corrosion.
  2. Fill engine coolant into reservoir tank up to the upper level.
  3. Warm-up engine completely for more than five minutes at 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.
  4. If the engine coolant level drops in radiator, add the engine coolant to filler neck position.
  5. If the engine coolant level drops from upper level of reservoir tank, add the engine coolant to the upper level.
  6. Attach the radiator cap and reservoir tank cap properly.

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, the concentration is 45% (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 58

Scheme 58: RELATIONSHIP OF SUBARU COOLANT CONCENTRATION AND FREEZING TEMPERATURE

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 liters (2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt). Drain 2.1 liters (2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt) of coolant from the cooling system and add 2.1 liters (2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp 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.
