What is Coolant Fluid Exchange?

The cooling system consists of several parts, including a pump, radiator, thermostat, and coolant fluid. The role of the coolant is to circulate the engine to transfer heat and to provide antifreeze protection to the engine components. The coolant can also contain special additives designed to boost its life span and performance. Over time, the coolant and its additives start to lose their effectiveness due to contamination or evaporation. A cooling system without a properly functioning coolant will not be able to regulate the engine's temperature, which is why a coolant fluid exchange service is needed to remove the worn-out coolant and refill the system with fresh coolant.

Signs That Your Subaru Needs Coolant Fluid Exchange

If the temperature gauge of your Subaru is reading hotter than usual, that is the most common indicator of bad coolant fluid. You should also watch out for smoke from the engine, grinding noise under the hood, or puddles of bright-colored fluid under the vehicle. Depending on the formulation, coolant fluids are typically colored orange, blue, or green. Most Subaru models will need fresh coolant every 24,000 to 36,000 miles or 2-3 years, whichever comes first. For more specific service intervals for your Subaru, please consult the owner’s manual of your Subaru.
