This Subaru Outback had approximately 115,000 miles. I show how to remove the lower splash shield, locate the radiator drain petcock, drain the old coolant, refill the radiator with a spill-free funnel, bleed air from the system, fill the overflow reservoir and confirm the heater and temperature are operating normally after a road test. This video covers: Removing the lower engine splash shield Locating and opening the radiator drain petcock Draining and refilling the cooling system Using a spill-free funnel to release trapped air Running the heater and watching for the thermostat to open Filling the coolant reservoir to the correct level Checking cabin heat and engine temperature after the repair 0:00 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R Coolant Change 0:41 Open the Hood 0:50 Locate the Radiator and Reservoir 1:24 Remove the Lower Splash Shield 3:35 Find the Radiator Drain Petcock 3:42 Drain the Old Coolant 4:02 Reinstall the Drain Plug 4:22 Refill With the Correct Coolant 5:27 Squeeze the Hose to Release Air 5:57 Start the Engine and Set Heat to High 6:28 Bleed the Cooling System 6:39 Thermostat Opens and Fans Turn On 7:31 Fill the Coolant Reservoir 8:35 Reinstall the Splash Shield 8:42 Road Test and Check Cabin Heat 8:59 Final Results and Wrap-Up *Important:* Work only on a completely cold engine. Never remove a radiator cap while the cooling system is hot or pressurized. Confirm the correct coolant specification and capacity for your exact model in the owner's manual; the product shown is simply what was used in this video and is not a universal recommendation. Coolant is toxic, so contain and recycle it properly and keep it away from children and animals. If this helped, please like the video, subscribe and tell me what repair you want to see next on *How Do I Fix It?* #SubaruOutback #CoolantChange #SubaruMaintenance Accuracy and safety notes The 2017 Subaru owner's manual lists Subaru Super Coolant and gives approximately *7.4 US quarts (7.0 liters)* as the 3.6-liter model's cooling-system capacity, while noting that capacity is a guideline. A radiator drain-and-fill may remove less than the system's full capacity. Always confirm the requirements for the exact vehicle and do not treat the third-party coolant shown in the video as a blanket compatibility recommendation.
