What happens if you put antifreeze in coolant?
In fact, if pure antifreeze-coolant is used in a car’s cooling system, the system loses about 35 percent of the heat-transfer capabilities it otherwise would have when antifreeze is mixed with the proper amount of water. Running on pure antifreeze-coolant is pure folly and only will hasten your engine’s demise.
Can you use regular antifreeze in a Subaru?
I will do my best to try and explain which coolant is right for your Subaru at this time. If you own a 1990 to 2002 2.2l or a 1995 to 1999 DOHC 2.5l you can use just about any type of regular Green Antifreeze/coolant. This will hold true in most all Subaru Outbacks, Impreza, Forester, Legacy and WRX models.
Can you just pour in coolant?
You can use diluted coolant by itself, or a 50/50 mixture of concentrated coolant and distilled water. When the coolant rises to the cold fill line, replace the cap and tighten it until you feel it click.
