Yep, I'd suggest fill it up with the OEM blue stuff (so the dealership doesn't give you grief about not using authorized coolant).

Do you see any coolant under your car when parked .... ??

Let's hope the car was leaking the coolant and not burning it ......

I actually haven't checked, but I don't think I see any coolant under the car when parked. Every morning I back out of my driveway, and don't see a puddle where I parked. Unless it evaporated over night? Hopefully the dealership can confirm the problem for me.

Sorry for not clarifying, I meant nothing in the overflow, but I assumed there is very little in the radiator as well due to approaching red on the temperature gauge.

Subaru recommends their cooling system conditioner. Amazon.com: Subaru SOA635071 OEM Coolant System Conditioner: Automotive This is actually just a special kind of stop leak. They put it in from the factory and recommend it for all Subaru engines including the FR-S. Make sure that you add this back to the cooling system or that the dealer does. If this is missing, it could cause coolant to seep past the head gaskets.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'm going to head over to Auto Zone after my classes and see if they have the OEM coolant or Peak's
