    Subarus need those Asian vehicle extended life coolants which are silicate free with phosphates added formula. But, I don't know about it's availability in the Phil.

    I would advise against using other coolant brands. Some formulas don't play well with others when mixed. Just get a bottle from MI. Besides if there are no coolant leaks you won't use up all the contents in 5 years anyway.

    Just top up with distilled water. It is safer that way unless yung recommended ng Subaru gagamitin mo based sa manual. Always refer to your owners manual para safe.

    I topped up with prestone and haven't encountered any issues.

    Also, you can google it.

    After you topped up, did you end up having more of the Prestone in the coolant container, and kaunti na lang yung recommended coolant? Any issue if that's the case?

    Use ONLY Subaru Coolant ... there are long term effects due to the boxer engine design ... you won't notice the effects short term ... JohnM is right, better to just add distilled water ...
