I realize the owners manual recommends the first coolant change at 11 years, is there any reason to change sooner other than a warm and fuzzy feeling?
That was 6.5 oz x 5 years. Daughters drove Cali to Connecticut R/T. Ourselves we used the mix on the Limited, they did not. Girls' Premium over 145,000 [miles] presently and no issues for their 5-speed manual. Dealer said, "..if you're a little low and worried, distilled..."All my Subarus have needed a little added coolant once in a while... but I never use water of any kind. I use only the 50/50 premixed Subaru Super Coolant as specified in the OM. The top off to the Full mark is also done when the engine is cool.
