If you are compelled to add more anti-freeze (usually not necessary for topping off) be sure to use ONLY the blue Subaru stuff ......

Yes, add distilled water.
It's a tank of water, after 3 years some of it evaporated, not rocket science, top off and it will be fine for another 2+ years.
Edit: And don't fill it to max when cold, the level will fluctuate with temperature, if you put it at max when cold you will over flow when the car is up to temperature, you probably want the level between 50% and low when the car is cold, pop the hood after a drive and see where the coolant is at.

You should fill up to between the "Low" and "Full" levels when your engine is cold, not warm and not after a drive.

I added it after a 15-20 minute drive, since it was recommended here. I didn't see the edit until today.
I didn't add much though.
Yeah, next time I will read the manual before a post, haha.
