What are some reasons that would cause a radiator to be replaced at 60,000 miles? Are there other things I should be wary of becuase of it?

 

Thanks!

What year and model Subaru? Is it that style where the top hose enters the radiator at the center of the top? I hear those are more prone to clogging possibly due to flow stagnation in certain areas.

 

Did you run gm dexcool or other OAT antifreeze in there? That stuff will glop up if the system is getting air into it all from any leaks or a bad radiator cap.

model mileage and year would be nice. A few things can clog a radiator. One is using tap water, another is the wrong coolant, too much stop leak, oil or tranny fluid contamination, physical damage....
