Is it necessary to go to the dealer to replenish coolant on a 2000 Subaru outback or can you simply use coolant from any auto parts store?
There are brands of antifreeze out there that will work in "ANY" car, "ANY" antifreeze...A good parts store will carry it...Don't waste your money at the dealer....
Actually - you want to be careful with what brand you choose. Modern cars have specific requirements, many require long life anti silicon anti boron anti everything low phosphorous, etc. For instance, using non Dexcool in a GM product may void a warranty, likewise using Dexcool in a Toyota may void it also. Using the wrong antifreeze in modern cars can potentially cause consequences (eating up gaskets, etc) and void warranties. Do your homework on the right antifreeze to buy and when in doubt, consult your manual, your dealer and for the few extra bucks it cost, get it from your dealer. Since it sounds like you are servicing it yourself with the $50 - $75 you will save you can easily spend a few extra bucks at the dealer. Adding conditioner is also important when either recommended or required.
Answer
Subaru does recommend a conditioner that I think is put in with the coolant to help prevent a blown head gasket. Look into this if you're doing it yourself.
