Non-silicate, non-phosphate, non-amine. I use Prestone personally.

I've recently put Fuchs Maintain Fricofin in my 04 Impreza ,got it from Opie who are offering quite a few good discounts on the lead up to Xmas. You'll get a 10% discount with the code M3C

I might be incorrect, but I don't think the "colour" of coolant is that relevant these days, The Fricofin is a kind of pinkish colour yet meets the correct specs, the old stuff which was flushed out was green.

If you really want to be 100% sure - it's 'Subaru Super Coolant'. I've seen a lot of people guess at what it is and what the closest match would be, but I'm yet to find something conclusive.

Avaliable for not a small amount of money from your local dealer.

Getting hold of the Subaru stuff is getting tricky, I have used Motul on three scoobs over the years.
