hogweed Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 thanks. i heard that there was a coolant additive to help w/ head gasket issues. can this be used as a preventative measure or only when a leak develops? gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Its from subaru. Its an official Subaru product used to (hopefully) prevent/stop external head gasket leaks. Its like chicken soup, it can't hurt, but 2.2s are fairly bullit proof as long as they are maintaned. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Should be no need with a 2.2. Given the age of the vehicle, you wouldn't want to clog any gummed up passages in the rad or heat core (not sure if this "conditioner" acts like a stop leak or not). I'd just get some fresh coolant in there and be happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
