The other problem is how much to use. Even the few of us with 2.5 subie
engines in place have questions. Since were running almost twice the
amount of coolant do you use 2 bottles.. .1-1/2? there really isn't
much information on the bottle and Subaru USA doesn't either. Looking
at liquid additive it looks like something you don't want add more then
needed. Also it's effects on the rest of coolant system really is yet
to be seen.

I was told that others have used it with success. I was thinking of
this on
the way to work this morning. How would this help our rubber gaskets not
leak?
