Today I checked before turning on (cold) and the level was way below the min. I did drive just 5 miles and it was just close to min. It’s scares me but never had this in my previous cars. I always check the ground for any leaks (coolant oil etc) and never saw a leak.

This car has been used only for my weekly Boston - NY trips and has the 14K miles. Never pushed the car and regularly drive 60-70 MPH.

I wonder if the decrease of the coolant is normal. I had my 6K and 12K Checks at the Subaru dealer and they also did not mention anything regarding this.

I can get the oem Subaru coolant and put a little in. Just wanted to ask if there is anything to worry about.

If topping it, should I add it on a heated (and after how long driving) car?

Thanks

The same happened to me before. I added OEM coolant once and never need to replenish again. My theory is that Subaru doesn't properly burp the coolant well before shipping the cars. Lazy bastard. I never needed to spend $30 on coolant prematurely before.
