BRZach · 01-02-2016, 05:24 PM

Hey all,
A few months ago I realized my coolant was low so I topped her off. Again recently I realized it was low. Since it is an enclosed system, something must be wrong correct?
Anyway, I would like to take it to the dealership to have them check on it. I would like to know if my modifications will possibly "void" warranty if there is a problem. I have an UEL header, over-pipe, Catback, and aftermarket intake tube. All of which (besides catback) was installed after noticing the loss of coolant.

I'm not too knowledgable toward engine internals yet, so please be somewhat understanding.

Thanks

EDIT:
Ok so I was a noob a while back threw in some coolant that was sitting in my cabinets at home from my parents.
After doing lots more research since then and realizing that you should never do that, I check the overflow tank. It was goopy at the bottom which means the mix wasnt the same chemicals.

That being said, I now realize I need to empty and flush the system, then refill with Subaru coolant. Does anyone know of a good flush kit?

Thanks
