2019 Subaru Forester Coolant in Greeley, CO

These observations can point to depleted coolant protection or a leak. The system must be checked cold because it can be hot and pressurized after driving. A service visit helps identify the condition and the cause.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or 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 routine service from a leak requiring repair. Inspection should be performed with the system safely cold.

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

No mileage or time interval is named here. 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 and whether the system is holding pressure.

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Have coolant condition tested at a service visit
• Check for leaks when the level is low or keeps dropping

Coolants are not interchangeable, so selecting fluid by convenience can compromise the intended protection. Color is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. A service visit can verify the condition and use the manufacturer's specified type and concentration.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Do not assume different coolants are interchangeable
• Do not use color alone to identify coolant

Coolant additives deplete even while the fluid continues to cool the engine. If the level keeps dropping, that indicates a leak rather than normal consumption. Do not open the system hot or under pressure; have it checked cold during a service visit.

• Level correction does not renew depleted additives
• A repeatedly low level can indicate a leak
• Check the system only when it is cold
