I would use subaru genuine coolant. If you drive hard or race add red line water wetter.

Tectaloy is rubbish. Have had problems with it eating radiators in a different car and a mate as had the same problem after he used it. Never using it again.

Do agree that Tectaloy from the shops is crap But different grade used at the radiator places friend it Darwin owns a radiator joint swears by it, been using it for years on normal street cars as well as high performance race cars even supplies some of the v8 supercar teams when they are up there never had a prob.

I worked at radiator masters for a period of time.

Get a concentrate - and mix it with distilled water.

Try stick to genuine coolant - definitely preferred.
