Why the need for sarcasm here? Aren't we all here to discuss and have a healthy conversation about things?

I also used Ravenol HJC FL22 on our ASX. Same thing - no issues whatsoever.

What coolant specs made the Ravenol HJC FL22 "meet" Subaru requirements?

Says in the website its recommended as replacement for Subaru Coolant. Subaru Coolant was used in Subarus prior to 2009.

Around 2008 or 2009, Subaru released a new coolant called Subaru Super Coolant, not to be confused with the regular Subaru Coolant.

Subaru Super Coolant is color blue while the Subaru Coolant was green.

That's why I am hesitant to use a coolant that is recommended as replacement only for Subaru Coolant and not the Subaru Super Coolant.

However, some have mixed old Subaru coolant with the blue Subaru super Coolant and had no problems. Hopefully it would only probably affect the lifespan of the coolant itself and would cause no damage to the engine.

^^^ Tama naman to avoid mixing diff. coolants. Pero in this case, mukhang full flush and drain gagawin with only one type of coolant lang naman (10liters ba naman binili)

Anyways, anyone notice how this thread seems to be being dragged on & on? Ewan ko lang...

Should I have created a new thread for my questions? Hindi ba mas magandang nasa isang thread lang lahat since this is the 2nd time I'm doing a non-casa PMS at 62K Km mileage? I didn't know there was a rule against keeping everything in a single thread but if it is better to keep things separate then I don't have any issues with creating a new one next time.
