Drain plugs...
Okay specialists,
Are there coolant drain plugs on each bank of cylinders to drain coolant from the block? All water cooled engines I've worked on have had at least one (in-line engine) or two (v-engine). Good question? Last edited by Columbo; 03-09-2004 at 08:59 PM. |

Thanks so much for that information. I think that aspect of the coolant change if over-looked quite a bit. From the link, it seems not much more drains out of there though. I'll see what happens when I get there (now I know where).

This question also suggests some others that ought to be covered by any thread that presumes to call itself the "Cooling System FAQ" in the Service & Maintenance forum. How do I drain my coolant? How do I refill my coolant so I don't have any air pockets? Here's a start on those answers, with a Subaru document (see p. 4): http://www.endwrench.com/current/win...ngineMaint.pdf |

Just as an FYI:
My Honda S2000 uses Honda Type II Long Life coolant. It's an extended life, silicate free coolant made for use in aluminum engines such as the S2000's. I plan to flush the WRX and use this as a replacement when I hit 30,000 miles. Honda sells the Type II Long Life in 1 gallong jugs, and it comes pre-mixed (50/50). |

Depending on which of the 9000 websites you believe, deionized water is purer than distilled. More pure = better. As with many of my "facts", there is controversy on this issue with an associated high geek factor that I don't even want to go into. Even though it's "better" I have no clue in the world where anyone would go to get deionized water though. I did find it online @ $30/gallon, so I would assume that 99% of readers will just "settle" for distilled.

deinonized water takes out all the elements/ions (hints the name) from the water leaving only pure water. I guess all of the ions collect heat or just don't leave contaminates.
*factoid* you can't be electricuted in deionized water |

I just got finished doing a flush.. and refill of OEM Subaru Coolant. I have an 03 and decided to put in the conditioner that subaru is now recommending. The bottle is pretty tiny and I put it in after the coolant was full.

Did they change the oem part number for the coolant? I just went and bought a gallon of undiluted antifreeze from my local dealer, and the invoice says:
"SOA635002 Floor Coolant" |

There are two part numbers actually, one for the qt. size and one for the gallon size. I will add them to the main post and thanks for reminding me about this....I forgot to add it a week or so ago when I found out about the two part numbers.
