Several possibilities I can think of:
1) The dealer sells coolant different than what comes stock in then the FR-S and BRZ are shipped with (kind of doubting that)
2) Chemical reaction with the old coolant which has small metal particles from the block mixed with new coolant?
3) Maybe the mixture is wrong

Whenever I plan on adding coolant, I usually go the extra mile and just flush everything out anyway and replace it all with new coolant to prevent possible mixing issues, but that's just me
