Engine Coolant Level Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Subaru WRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Stop the engine.
The engine coolant is pressurized when it is hot. Wait until engine coolant cools down before proceeding the work.
If the engine coolant is spilt over the engine, exhaust pipe or the under cover, completely wipe it off to avoid emission of smoke or causing a fire.
Do not use water instead of engine coolant.

Engine coolant:

Refer to "SPECIFICATION" for engine coolant. Ref. to COOLING (H4DOTC)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>SPECIFICATION >ENGINE COOLANT>TYPE .

Engine coolant concentration:

Refer to "SPECIFICATION" for engine coolant concentration. Ref. to COOLING (H4DOTC)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION >SPECIFICATION >ENGINE COOLANT>CONCENTRATION .

NOTE:

The SUBARU Super Coolant contains anti-freeze and anti-rust agents, and is especially made for Subaru engines with an aluminum cylinder block.

Be sure to use SUBARU Super Coolant, since other coolant may cause corrosion.

Park the vehicle on a level surface.

Check the engine coolant level, and add the engine coolant if the coolant level is low.

NOTE:

Coolant level in the reservoir tank may be reduced as a result of evaporation. It may be necessary to add coolant during servicing. If the customer reports a need to add coolant regularly, make sure to check for engine coolant leaks.

Make sure the engine coolant level in the reservoir tank is between "FULL" and "LOW" with the engine in a cold condition.

Open the radiator cap and make sure that the radiator is filled with the engine coolant up to its filler neck position.
