how to inspect fuel filler hose on 2004 subaru outback
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.

I just had to remove my stater after it broke it's top mouting stud and cracked the bottom mount. I hand to crawl under and attach the new starter from underneath. This is a must have a ratchet otherwise there is no space for you to get leverage. Took me about 10-15 mins due to not haveing a lot of room and my hand cramping. If you have access to ramps or a lift I suggest using them to speed up your work time. Past that it was an easy fix.

Why does your Subaru Outback fan keep running after the engine is off?
Since the advent of electric fans 30 or more years ago there has always been a warning on the fan shroud that the fan may start running at any time even with the engine off. However, reading between the lines of your question, you may be experiencing a stuck fan relay. There are three relays in the electrical schematic for my 2007. I don't know what year yours is. If mine did run continuously I would suspect the first main fan relay that just happens to be in the main fuse box.

What could cause Subaru Outback acceleration problems?
Lots of things. You have not given enough information to answer the question. First please describe what you mean by "acceleration problems".
"ILL.1" through "ILL.6" displayed in the odometer field indicate the level of the dash light dimmer setting. These messages will be displayed briefly when the dash light dimmer setting is adjusted. In the '05 Subaru Outbacks, dash light dimmers are known to fail. When they fail, the "ILL.n" message will appear sporadically in the odometer display without changing the dimmer setting. Replacing the dimmer will correct the problem.

Will a purolator oil filter L 14460 fit a 2012 Subaru outback 2.5l?
The Owner's Manual calls for JDM black #15208AA100 or SOA Blue #15208AA12A, both number cross-ref to Purolator L14612. Your Purolator L14460 cross-ref to Subaru OEM 15208AA060. I got tired of all those darn part no. changes about the blue one, the black one, the short one, the long one. Do yourself a favor and do like me: Go to the nearest Subaru stealership and ask them to give you a filter that fits on your car. A filter change sure cost less than an engine change anyway.....
