Is there a correct way to fix this?

1)Fill up coolant with OEM subaru coolant fluid

2) Use water and fill it up.

Thanks
no need to spend $20+ on the OEM fluid when you can buy distilled water for like $2 and you won't even use the whole bottle. and if you don't fill it up with coolant, ONLY use distilled water. though, if you are going to bleed the whole system then that's when you buy the OEM coolant. no need to buy it just to fill in like 1 pint

there really isn't a "fix" for this since this isn't a real problem. just top it off and you're good to go. there's no need to over think it unless you are actually leaking coolant and have air in the system, which at that point you will notice your car over heating at the very least.
