I just changed coolant in my daughters 2015 Forester. I used Prestone MAX Asian Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted (blue). I read the “Product Safety Data Sheet” on their webpage & the composition/information on Ingredients is the exact same as the new Subaru Super Coolant (black jug) & a lot cheaper off RockAuto. As stated above, please use a Wix 57055XP. Subaru requires a 27 psi for the by-pass valve & Wix meets that requirement. Thanks for the video & God bless
did you use the same size Phillips to remove the cover screws. how did you remove and re-install the cover clips and what tool did you use. Is it enough for the fan to come on for one cycle & then drain the distilled water. When I filled it with the blue coolant & start the engine do I turn the heater on again & is the radiator cap on or off at this time. Thanks for the info.
One fan cycle is good for the distilled water flush. Yes always turn the heater on every stage/steep. For the new coolant fill keep the radiator cap off until the level does not drop anymore with the engine running and heater on.
@@antonioficca3639 Yes you can get burnt from the fan cycle. Usually when the fan turns on water/coolant is around boiling point. If you gonna run it that hot I suggest caping the radiator then let it cool for a few hours before un-capping the radiator....but if you do get it that hot then you can just top off from the reservoir, no need to take off the radiator cap.

Great Video - thanks!! Please change your oil filter to quality filter brand such as Wix brand XP type filter and Subaru OEM Filter.
I like how he specified that u only need to wait for a single fan cycle.

thanks 4 the reply, starting with a cold engine could the water b hot enough where I can get burnt after one fan cycle.
