Subaru OEM Coolant System Additive
 
I have a small coolant leak from my radiator. I found this Subaru OEM Coolant Additive that has been recommended for leaks in older Subaru vehicles. Would it be fine to run in the FA20?

Thanks in advance.

That was used in the old 2.5 liter cars to help prevent head gasket failure. I ran that with no issues in my old Legacy GT past 150,000 miles on the original gaskets. It's not a stop leak and will most likely not fix your problem. I also personally wouldn't use it in my FA20 as it wasn't designed for this engine. What caused the leak? Can you bring it back to the dealer as a warranty issue?
