Engine Coolant

Where can a person get engine coolant from, other than from the dealer for a 04 MCS.

I would only use coolant that is made for aluminum motors and is anti-corrosive.
I use subaru coolant, actually....since I have a gallon bottle sitting around
for my other car. :smile: make sure you mix 50/50 with distilled water.

Did you drain out everything or add too? I'm looking to add to the coolant overflow tank. It's a little low.

I just added more. Add when the engine is cold, up to the middle mark
between Max and Min and you're all set. :smile: I check my coolant at least
once a month to be sure while I check my oil level.
