Coolant lost after autox? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This has been a common issue since I got the car over 2 years ago. I just add to it every now and then.

I assume when cold? No need to dilute?

Im stock power wise and have had to top mine off 3 times so far through 2+ years and 57,000 miles. Done a couple test at the dealer and then got tired of paying for it so just said forget it. Never found a cause to a somewhat common "issue".

It is typically premixed at 50/50 so no need to dilute. Cold is the time to add.

Thanks guys I guess it's off to Subaru tmml! I assume the blue coolant can only be brought from Subaru and toyota uses the pink ones?

I use the blue toyota coolant off Amazon. Same as the subaru stuff. Don't put any other color stuff in.

The only reason I use OEM coolant is because of warranty reasons.

Yes, it just costs a bit more than Amazon.

I just checked my car after work and the coolant reservoir is right at the line on "low" and after driving home (20 minutes or so) and checking again, it's between low and full range. I assume, this is apparently normal as long as reservoir isn't below "low" line.?
