also, something I ran across years ago with my f250 diesel: One other check that is often overlooked when servicing coolant is to check for electrolysis. Stray electrical currents that use the coolant as a conductor can rapidly corrode heater cores, radiators and other metal parts in the...

Subarus use blue coolant. Last weekend when I was at the part store I noticed that Asian Zerex came in both blue and red bottles and both colors had the same specs so it is probably just a feel good for the buyer as far as color goes.

Would it be okay to use zerex g 05 in a L3200 and change out every five years?

2011 Subaru Outback 2.5 Quaker State green bottle 5w30 Subaru oil filter

it's a lot of work on this, seems as though the exhaust manifolds have to be dropped to access the area needed. I'm going to have to ponder this for a while now.

Does anyone know specifically where a block heater would be installed on a 2011 Subaru Outback? A picture with arrow and circle would be nice. Also, is there any aftermarket oil filter that meets Subaru's by-pass pressure rating besides Purolator's L14460 or is the OEM filter the preferred...

if it is, it is a 6mm hex bit
