2022 SUBARU BRZ coolant

Cooling System
348■
Synthetic Oil
You should use synthetic engine oil that
meets the same requirements given for
conventional engine oil. When using
synthetic oil, you must use oil of the same
classification, viscosity and grade shown
in this Owner’s Manual. Refer to "Engine
Oil" P381. Also, you must follow the oil
and filter changing intervals shown in the
Warranty and Maintenance booklet.NOTESynthetic oil of the grade and viscosity
noted in chapter 12 is the recom-
mended engine oil for optimum engine
performance. Conventional oil may be
used if synthetic oil is unavailable.
11-7. Cooling System
■
Cooling Fan, Hose and
Connections
Your vehicle employs an electric cooling
fan which is thermostatically controlled to operate when the engine coolant reaches
a specific temperature.
If the radiator cooling fan does not operate
even when the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge exceeds the normal operating
range, the cooling fan circuit may be
defective. Refer to "Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge" P129.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap until
the engine has been shut off and
has cooled down completely. Since
the coolant is under pressure, you
may suffer serious burns from a
spray of boiling hot coolant when
the cap is removed.
CAUTION
 Vehicles are filled at the factory
with SUBARU SUPER COOLANT
that does not require the first
change for 11 years/137,500 miles
(11 years/220,000 km). This
coolant should not be mixed with
any other brand or type of coolant
during this period. Mixing with a
different coolant will reduce the
life of the coolant. When neces-
sary to top off the coolant for any
reason, use only SUBARU
SUPER COOLANT.
If the SUBARU SUPER COOLANT
is diluted with another brand or
type, the maintenance interval is
shortened to that of the mixing
coolant.
 Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.

Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
Check the fuse and replace it if necessary.
Refer to "Fuses" P371. If the fuse is not
blown, have the cooling system checked
by your SUBARU dealer.
If the frequent addition of coolant is neces-
sary between vehicle service visits, it is
recommended that you have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized SUBARU
dealer to check for leaks, damage, or
looseness.■
Engine Coolant
▼
Checking the coolant level1) “FULL” level mark
2) “LOW” level mark
Check the coolant level at each fuel stop.
1. Check the coolant level on the outside
of the reservoir while the engine is cool.
2. If the level is close to or lower than the
“LOW” level mark, add coolant up to the
“FULL” level mark. If the reserve tank is
empty, remove the radiator cap and refill
coolant up to just below the filler neck as
shown in the following illustration.
1) Fill up to this level.
3. After refilling the reserve tank and the
radiator, reinstall t he cap and check that
the rubber gaskets in side the radiator cap
are in the proper position.

CAUTION
 Be careful not to spill engine
coolant when adding it. If coolant
touches the exhaust pipe, it may
cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or
a fire. If engine coolant gets on
the exhaust pipe, be sure to wipe
it off.Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.

Air Cleaner Element
350▼
Changing the coolant
It may be difficult to change the coolant.
Have the coolant changed by your
SUBARU dealer if necessary.
The coolant should be changed according
to the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
11-8. Air Cleaner ElementThe air cleaner element functions as a
filter screen. When the element is perfo-
rated or removed, engine wear will be
excessive and engine life shortened.
The air cleaner element is a dry type. It is
unnecessary to clean or wash the
element.
■
Replacing the Air Cleaner
Element
Replace the air cleaner element according
to the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
Under extremely dusty conditions, replace
it more frequently. It is recommended that
you always use genuine SUBARU parts.
WARNING
Do not operate the engine with the
air cleaner element removed. The
air cleaner element not only filters
intake air but also stops flames if
the engine backfires. If the air
cleaner element is not installed
when the engine backfires, you
could be burned.
CAUTION
When replacing the air cleaner ele-
ment, use a genuine SUBARU air
cleaner element. If it is not used,
there is the possibility of causing a
negative effect to the engine.

Replacement of Wiper Blades
367
Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
If you fill the windshield washer tank with
a fluid with a different concentration from
the one used previously, purge the old
fluid from the piping between the wind-
shield washer tank and washer nozzles by
operating the washer for a certain period
of time. Otherwise, if the concentration of
the fluid remaining in the piping is too low
for the outside temperature, it may freeze
and block the nozzles.
11-24. Replacement of Wiper BladesGrease, wax, insects, or other materials
on the windshield or the wiper blade
results in jerky wiper operation and
streaking on the glass. If you cannot
remove the streaks after operating the
windshield washer or if the wiper opera-
tion is jerky, clean the outer surface of the
windshield (or rear window) and the wiper
blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a
neutral detergent or mild abrasive cleaner.
After cleaning, rinse the windshield and
wiper blades with clean water. The wind-
shield is clean if beads do not form when
you rinse the windshield with water.
CAUTION
Never use engine coolant as washer
fluid because it could cause paint
damage.
CAUTION
Adjust the washer fluid concen-
tration appropriately for the
outside temperature. If the
concentration is inappropriate,
sprayed washer fluid may freeze
on the windshield and obstruct
your view, and the fluid may
freeze in the windshield washer
tank.Be careful foreign matter does
not contaminate the washer fluid
when filling the tank. Contamina-
tion could cause malfunctions,
such as clogging the pump.
State or local regulations on vola-
tile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol, a
common windshield washer anti-
freeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol anti-
freeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging
your vehicle’s paint, wiper blades
or washer system.
CAUTION
Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.When you wish to raise the
passenger-side wiper arm, first
raise the driver-side wiper arm.
Otherwise, the passenger-side
wiper assembly and driver-side
wiper assembly will touch each
other, possibly resulting in
scratches.
