Engine Coolant?

I'm replacing the stock radiator hoses with hoses from Perrin. Needing to know what kind does of engine coolant the FR-S take?

You have to pick it up at the dealer. They have a coolant and an additive at Subaru.

If you go to Subaru to pick up the coolant it should be the "super coolant" and not the "long life" coolant. The coolant will be blue. also, make sure you let the system purge prior to finishing up on the job. Good luck!
