Where to get Subaru coolant on the island

Pflueger Subaru in Waipahu tried to sell me NAPA coolant. Don't know about that. Just need maybe half a quart to bring the tank level up to normal.
If anyone has extra, I'll trade you a 6-pack of Corona Light:-).

i know that the factory fluid is a bit bluish- most domestic coolant sold here are green- (glycol)
those should be ok to mix w/ the oem- or in your case, distilled water should be enuf since you only need about a quart. Note- never use or mix that pink coolant w/ any glycol- based (green) even just a little amount.

now- can i have dat corona lite?- j/k!

depending on your mileage you should be due for a coolant flush anyway.

So, can mix glycol-based coolant? 'Cause have lot of Volvo coolant, ethyl-glycol stuff w/ silicates.
Anyway, I do that distilled water. Thanks hah.
Corona Light? yeah, shoots....
