kragen on florin road.. COOLANT!
Quick questions!
1) i went to kragen on florin road and bought "PRESTONE ANTIFREEZE COOLANT" It says (New formula!, All makes, All models, mix with any color antifreeze)
Q) I had 1/4 left of stock 2006 wrx coolant in my car so i filled up halfway with this .. is it ok? Do i have to flush? My friend said its not good and he works at TOYOTA. He said my car has orange coolant from GM and I needed green coolant. Is this true?
The coolant i bought "Prestone" is yellow green. please help. I have pictures if u guys need to know how it looks like. HELP!!

I've always used Prestone without any problems.
I had heard it was the only one on the market with the same chemical make-up as the Subaru stuff, but you can't always believe everything you read on the intarweb.

Since you only have 1/4 left in the system anyway, you might as well drain it out and start fresh with the Prestone stuff.
