3. Engine Coolant
A: REPLACEMENT
1. DRAINING OF ENGINE COOLANT
1) Lift-up the vehicle.
2) Remove the under cover.
3) Remove the drain cock to drain engine coolant
into container.
NOTE:
Remove the radiator cap so that engine coolant will
drain faster.
4) Install the drain cock.
2. FILLING OF ENGINE COOLANT
1) Fill engine coolant into the radiator up to filler
neck position.
Coolant capacity (fill up to “FULL” level): to CO(H4SO)-2, SPECIFICATION, General De-
scription.>
NOTE:
The SUBARU Genuine Coolant containing anti-
freeze 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.
2) Fill engine coolant into the reservoir tank up to
Full level.
3) Warm-up the engine completely for more than 5
minutes at 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.
4) If the engine coolant level drops in radiator, add
engine coolant to filler neck position.5) If the engine coolant level drops from Full level of
reservoir tank, add engine coolant to Full level.
6) Attach the radiator cap and reservoir tank cap
properly.
