Shortly before I sold my WRX I sent in a sample of coolant to be analyzed. At 15350 miles on the car and the factory fill coolant, I drained, flushed, and filled with a 50:50 mix of regular Prestone and distilled water, with a small container (maybe 12 oz.) of Prestone Rust Preventer. At 30569 miles on the car and 15117 miles on the Prestone, I drained, flushed, and refilled with Subaru coolant and water. This sample I am about to post is on the Prestone coolant.
I have no understanding of coolant analysis, so I am pretty dependent on their comment. As the car is sold, it is also pretty much irrelevant to me. The WRX has an aluminum block and heads, iron cylinder liners, and an oil:water oil cooler. The turbo is also water cooled.
That is all that was listed as being analyzed, and there was the typical OAI/CTC comment "Test results performed indicate no corrective action required"code:
Sodium 2570
Phosphate 689
Molybdenum 39
Iron 2
Copper 6
Lead 0
Aluminum 36
Boron 373
Silicon 73
Silicates 0
Nitrates 817
Nitrites 674
