Legacy Outback Wagon F4-2.5L SOHC (2000)
The concentration and safe operating temperature of the SUBARU coolant is shown in the diagram. Measuring the temperature and specific gravity of
the coolant will provide this information.
[Example]
If the coolant temperature is 25°C (77°F) and its specific gravity is 1.054, the concentration is 35% (point A), the safe operating temperature is -14°C
(7°F) (point B), and the freezing temperature is -20°C (-4°F) (point C).
2. PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE CONCENTRATION OF THE COOLANT
To adjust the concentration of the coolant according to temperature, find the proper fluid concentration in the above diagram and replace the necessary
amount of coolant with an undiluted solution of SUBARU genuine coolant (concentration 50).
The amount of coolant that should be replaced can be determined using the diagram.
[Example]
Assume that the coolant concentration must be increased form 25% to 40%. Find point A, where the 25% line of coolant concentration intersects with
the 40% curve of the necessary coolant concentration, and read the scale on the vertical axis of the graph at height A. The quantity of coolant to be
drained is 2.1 liters (2.2 US qt. 1.8 Imp qt). Drain 2.1 liters (2.2 US qt. 1.8 Imp qt) of coolant from the cooling system and add 2.1 liters (2.2 US qt.
1.8 Imp qt) of the undiluted solution of SUBARU coolant.
If a coolant concentration of 50% is needed, drain all the coolant and refill with the undiluted solution only.
