The ‘conditioner’ doesn’t apply by current standards and revisions. Where does it end Similar to Toyotas recent. And this is where the problem has started. Starting in 1997 and used through 1999 Subaru began to use a multi layer steel shim head gasket with a graphite type outer film. Since then superseded by revises torque pattern, improved gasket design (770) and the requirement of blue coolant (phosphated HOAt) from 2008. Researching the issue on the net indicates that problems extends to the 2005 model year and possibly beyond. In 1996 on the 2.5l engine Subaru used a composite type head gasket similar in construction to the head gaskets found in the Subaru Legacy & Impreza 2.2l engine. The ‘conditioner’ people swear by was used to address external coolant leaks but usually you get external oil leaks instead to where this block sealer is ineffective, and does not work to prevent or treat an internal gasket failure. That is old news, ca 2002 tsb. Toyota pink can be used as it is a phosphated formula but of a higher concentration. The Subaru Forester (Japanese:, Hepburn: Subaru Foresut) is a compact crossover SUV that has been manufactured by Subaru since 1997. Pabby et al. The old school green organic stuff can be used but change it every 2 seasons. Professor Sastre was the head of the chemical engineering department from 1999 to 2005 and is presently vice rector (vice chancellor) for academic policy at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Blue Asian formulas are a p-HOAt type, phosphated hybrid organic acid or phosphoric acid.
Peak ‘global’ although compatible for top off to unknown coolant types is not appropriate to replace a volume of coolant as it is potassium based. As much as we love Subaru vehicles, the head gasket problem is a black mark on Subarus otherwise fantastic reputation. Wrong coolant: dexcool, borate, silicate, amine, potassium (generic long life green or yellow) clear, pink or blue European flavors, clear, orange, and yellow domestic flavored. Cause by either wrong coolant, overuse service, letting the engine be covered in the same road salt all season heat after year What I notice as concern is the corrosion buildup on the edge of the gasket on the block and head side that pushes the gasket or busts the seal between the surfaces. Funny enough he just posted all this on a Facebook Subaru group the other day: I have a good friend who is a master Subaru dealer tech and he seemed to indicate that a big failure pattern he sees involves incorrect coolant.
