Hi All,

About to flush my coolant out and put in new but confused on type.
Halfords have this on their website, is it correct?

Question
Which antifreeze should I use for my Subaru WRX 2004

Answers
Subaru have been fitting Organic Acid Techology (OAT) coolants for some years now. Halfords Advanced Antifreeze is such a fluid and you should use this (and not the standard product) for your application. The product code for the Halfords Advanced Antifreeze in 1 litre pack is 798769.

Subaru docs definitely say OAT coolant only. I've used the red Halfords stuff you're talking about for the last two years with no problems.

i used the organic pink stuff from halfords in my classic and it made a right mess of my coolant system with fluffy pink crud all thorughout the system (i did flush first too). I had to drain it all, flush it again and fill will comma.

Just take a trip to the stealers like I did and pick up a container of Shell Glycol antifreeze. It was approx £6.50 for a pack

Was that enough antifreeze to do a re-fill from empty etc
