Engine Coolant
2. RELATIONSHIP OF SUBARU COOLANT
CONCENTRATION AND FREEZING TEM-
PERATURE
The concentration and safe operating temperature
of the SUBARU Genuine Coolant is shown in the
diagram. Measuring the temperature and specific
gravity of the coolant will provide this information.
[Example]
If the coolant temperature is 25°C (77°F) and its
specific gravity is 1.054, the concentration is 35%
(point A), the safe operating temperature is −14°C
(7°F) (point B), and the freezing temperature is −
20°C (−4°F) (point C).
3. PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE CONC
ENTRATION OF THE COOLANT
To adjust the concentration of the engine coolant
according to temperature, find the proper fluid con-
centration in the above diagram and replace the
necessary amount of coolant with an undiluted so-
lution of SUBARU Genuine Coolant (concentration
50%).
The amount of coolant that should be replaced can
be determined using the diagram.
[Example]
Assume that the engine coolant concentration must
be increased from 25% to 40%. Find point A, where
the 25% line of the engine coolant concentration in-
tersects with the 40% curve of the necessary the
engine coolant concentration, and read the scale
on the vertical axis of the graph at height A. The
quantity of the engine coolant to be drained is 2.12
(2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt). Drain 2.12 (2.2 US qt, 1.8
Imp qt) of coolant from the cooling system and add
2.12 (2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt) of the undiluted solu-
tion of SUBARU Genuine Coolant.
If the engine coolant concentration of 50% is need-
ed, drain all the coolant and refill with the undiluted
solution only.

General Description
C: CAUTION
 Wear working clothing, including a cap, protec-
tive goggles and protective shoes during operation.
 Remove contamination including dirt and corro-
sion before removal, installation or disassembly.
 Keep the disassembled parts in order and pro-
tect them from dust or dirt.
 Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary re-
moval, installation, disassembly and replacement.
 Be careful not to burn yourself, because each
part in the vehicle is hot after running.
 Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts to the specified
torque.
 Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.
 Before disconnecting electrical connectors of
sensors or units, be sure to disconnect the ground
cable from battery.
 All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying
special attention to the engine oil passages, pis-
tons and bearings. Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston,
bearing and gear should be coated with oil prior to
assembly.
 Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact
the timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
 All removed parts, if to be reused, should be re-
installed in the original positions and directions.
 Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with
new ones as required.
 Even if necessary inspections have been made
in advance, proceed with assembly work while
making rechecks.
 Remove or install engine in an area where chain
hoists, lifting devices, etc. are available for ready
use.
 Be sure not to damage coated surfaces of body
panels with tools, or not to stain seats and windows
with coolant or oil. Place a cover over fenders, as
required, for protection.
 Prior to starting work, prepare the following:
Service tools, clean cloth, containers to catch cool-
ant and oil, wire ropes, chain hoist, transmission
jacks, etc.
 Lift-up or lower the vehicle when necessary.
Make sure to support the correct positions.
