2013 Subaru Tribeca Coolant in Greeley, CO

These symptoms can point to depleted coolant or a leak in the cooling system. Do not open a cooling system while it is hot or under pressure; checking it is done cold. A service visit can test the coolant's condition and pressure-test the system.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or a puddle under the front of the vehicle
• Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir

The refill uses the coolant type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps distinguish a service that is due from a leak that needs repair. The system must be checked cold because it is hot and pressurized after running.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water-pump area

Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points. That testing helps determine whether the fluid's protective additives remain effective. Following the vehicle-specific schedule and responding to cooling-system symptoms are both important.

• Use the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Test coolant condition during a service visit
• Book an inspection when cooling-system symptoms appear

The correct coolant is selected according to the vehicle's manufacturer requirements rather than by appearance. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. A service visit uses the specified coolant type and concentration for the vehicle.

• Follow the manufacturer's coolant specification
• Do not treat different coolants as interchangeable
• Do not use colour alone to identify coolant

Check the system only when it is cold because it can be hot and pressurized after running. Adding fluid may temporarily bring the reservoir to the proper level, but it does not determine why the level changed. Book an inspection if the level falls again or if other symptoms appear.

• Top-off fluid does not renew coolant additives
• A repeatedly low level points to a leak
• Check the cooling system cold, never while hot

The visit can evaluate coolant condition, pressure-test the system, and inspect the listed cooling-system components. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley is located at 4720 W 24th St in West Greeley. You can also review current service specials before booking.
