Subaru Coolant Conditioner?

[M.J.]

I thought they eventually overcame the problems with the 2.5, but I'm not
sure which year. Thought it was around 03'. Be I mistaken?

That was in 2006.

In 2005 it was '02, in 2004 in '01, in 2003 was '00.

In 2007 it's gooto be '04, i.e. last model year with 2.5l engine
headgasket problems. In 2008 it will be '05, and so on.

You get my point! I would recommend staying away from the 2.5l
permanently. I regret not purchasing the last model year 2.2l (2001)
or 2.0 turbo engine. SAAB-Subaru still had these 2.0L just two years
ago I think.
