Nirefill ko kasi ng tap water yung coolant kasi pawala na. Hindi ko alam bakit hindi nirefill last pms ko 2 mos ago.
Should I drain it po or wait until my next pms? 7mos pa lang po si Fozzie.
Salamat po..

You'll be fine. Just don't use tap next time. Best to keep a bottle of OE coolant or distilled water ( Wilkins or Absolute, not the vodka[emoji4]) for top up.
I would never let the dealership top coolant or windshield fluid up....DIY it. I've seen dealerships add tap countless times.[emoji20]

Haha.. noted on the Absolut Vodka Sir Travajante..[emoji1]
Thanks po sa reply sir.. worried lang talaga ako lalo na't first time to own.. I read na it will cause rust and corrosion.
I am thinking pa naman of going to MI on monday for a coolant flush. [emoji28]

Anytime, sir! I'm a bit OC, too. Tap has minerals that could cake w/ heat & time.
I'm guessing you dint top up much. Don't you lose sleep over it.[emoji4]

To be honest sir mga 1L nalagay ko. [emoji28]
Planning of buying a concentrated coolant para at least maneutralize ko. May advise po ba kayo na brand? Non turbo po ako.

Appreciate your help Sir Trav!

Grab what Subaru puts for the next top up. Note that different coolant brands come in different colors.

Be careful, use ONLY Subaru Long Life Coolant ... There are alternatives but you have to be well informed about different types of coolants and their composition ... Incompatible coolant type MIGHT damage some metals in the engine ...
