Hello all from a Newbie,
I have a 2009 Outback 4 cylinder, and would like to change the coolant. In addition to draining the radiator, should the cylinder block also be drained and where would I find the drains? Would I need to purge air from the system after adding the Subaru approved coolant? Would it be necessary to add the Subaru additive that is probably supposed to help the head gaskets seal?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This car has 60,000 miles on it and has not had the head gaskets replaced. I am hoping that by keeping the engine oil regularly changed and the coolant changed, the head gaskets might last longer.
Thank you,
Ken
