Is there any specific coolant recommendations for my 2.5 conversion in my Doka. New radiator and new coolant lines. 2.5 is a 2007.
You're probably going to get almost as many answers to this as there are conversions.
On the Subaru car lists I've observed, they mostly talk about using the Subaru dealer
coolant, the conditioner, and distilled water. Prestone and Dexcool are also used
by them according to their posts. There is some evidence that Dexcool breaks down
and does not last as long as mfg states it does.
Probably the best is to use the Subaru coolant AND their conditioner, with the
distilled water (no corrosion-causing minerals). Red, Yellow and Blue coolants
are more environmentally friendly and last longer in service cycles.
