January 28, 201313 yr Hi ALL! YES...this IS a stupid question ! I have a leak in my radiator, I've been adding coolant. I have tried to add the Subee conditoner once, via the radiotor cap. I got about 3/4 of a bottle in, didn't stop leak. It gets clogged up at the top , couldn't get it all in ! I'de like to add another full bottle but don't want to waste any ! I was thinking of draining of some coolant, via petcock. Then pulling off top radiator hose and pouring down the conditoner and quickly puttin it back together....unless there are better ideas out there ! Many thanks, Ted
January 28, 201313 yr Follow the directions on the side of the bottle. You might be skipping the step to shake it, or not shaking it enough. If the fluid is low enough there's no reason for it all not to go down or to have to play tricks with it to get it in. Radiator replacement is the preferred and much better solution. Radiatorbarn.com has awesome prices. I got a 2000 Forester radiator shipped to my house brand new for like $89.

I put a new one in my wife's 98 OBW for less then $100. It is an ez swap out.
