2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Coolant in Thornton, CO

These symptoms can reflect aging coolant or a cooling-system leak. The system is hot and pressurized after operation, so checking should be done cold rather than by opening it while hot. A pressure test helps identify whether a leak needs repair.

• Higher-than-usual temperature gauge reading
• Sweet smell or puddle under the front of the vehicle
• Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir

The refill uses the coolant type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. These steps assess both coolant condition and system integrity. Schedule an appointment at Mike Shaw Subaru for this inspection and service.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area

No replacement interval is stated for this model year in the service information used for this page. A condition check can still help distinguish depleted coolant from a leak. Book service if the temperature gauge runs higher than usual or the level keeps dropping.

• Follow the applicable manufacturer maintenance schedule
• Test coolant condition during a service visit
• Pressure-test the system when a leak is suspected

The correct choice should follow the manufacturer’s specification for this vehicle. Coolant color is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle, so selecting fluid by appearance can be misleading. A service visit can evaluate the fluid and refill the system correctly.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Do not treat different coolants as interchangeable
• Do not use color alone to identify coolant

Check the system only when it is cold because it is hot and under pressure after running. A low level, sweet smell, or puddle should not be treated as normal consumption. Pressure testing can help determine whether the system needs repair as well as coolant service.

• Top-off restores level, not depleted additives
• Repeatedly low coolant can indicate a leak
• Check the cooling system only when cold
