This is much harder to do with the fans installed, making the whole assembly too thick to tilt enough.Īnother tip - despite what you'll hear from others, these Subys work fine on cheap universal AMAM coolant. Read reviews for OEM 50/50 Premixed Concentrated Anti-Freeze/Coolant, Honda/Acura/Subaru, Blue, 3.78-L. You'll find for the install, you'll need to tilt the top of the radiator towards the engine to get the two mounting prongs on the bottom to go into their holes and also for the radiator bottom to clear the A/C condenser. OEM Ready-to-Use (Premixed 50/50) Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant Blue I is specifically formulated for Acura, Honda and Subaru vehicles and is suitable for hybrid & electric models. Must use distilled - gallon is <1 at a supermarket.
I researched this extensively two years ago when I did my timing belt & water pump. You can safely use Peak Global Lifetime in the Subaru. The other one is green for older models prior to 2008 or 2009. Read the label - itll tell you if it needs distilled water 50 or is premixed. The super coolant is the blue fluid in late model Subaru's.

Same deal with installing - install the radiator itself first, then install each fan onto the radiator in the engine bay. The best is BMW coolant (not that expensive), followed by Pentosin NF (again blue, available in most auto parts stores), and I believe Zerex has a G48 coolant - youll need to look for it. In other words, don't try to pull the whole thing out together (radiator with fans still attached). As a fellow Suby owner, a big tip on doing this job is remove the radiator fans before attempting to remove the radiator itself. You should consider just replacing the radiator wherever the car is, it's not that hard. You can tell if you have it by seeing if you have the blue stuff in your coolant reservoir. Avoid the conditioner, it's not worth it and may not even stop that kind of leak. hogtownrocketsled said: New owners, or should I say owners of new Subarus, should be aware that starting with MY09, Subaru had been using their new 'Super Coolant'.
