Engine Coolant System Refilling
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this bulletin is to address proper refilling of the engine coolant system. To prevent air pockets, an evacuation and refilling tool is required. This required tool can be obtained through Kent Moore, Snap-on or your local tool distributor. The tool creates a vacuum in the coolant system removing possible air pockets allowing for efficient refilling of the engine coolant system.
REPAIR PROCEDURES
when refilling the radiator refer to the applicable service manual for coolant recommendations and capacities. The evacuation and refilling tool comes with complete operating instructions from the manufacturer, which needs to be followed.
Note:
Always use SUBARU Genuine Coolant, since other coolant may cause corrosion. SUBARU Genuine Coolant contains antifreeze and anti-rust agents, which is especially made for Subaru engines.
