I have used Lucas stop leak to repair no PS assist when cold problem. (Morning Sickness) I have had it work and not work. If a metal tube or hose is leaking nothing you put in the fluid is gonna help.
Older Hondas don’t like anything but Honda Fluid. I use B.G. Synthetic in most everything now.I have used Lucas stop leak to repair no PS assist when cold problem. (Morning Sickness) I have had it work and not work. If a metal tube or hose is leaking nothing you put in the fluid is gonna help.

And yes there will probably be a core charge on it.

By the way it sounds cranking i think you “cooked” her good. I would check the compression before spending money on the coolant leak.

My personal opinion about extended life oils is that it’s all B.S. I use Synthetic oil in everything including my Lawn Mower cuz i think it is superior to mineral oil in many ways. I don’t care what “Captain Amsoil” Says If you have a tiny leak on conventional oil you will end up with a large leak on synthetics. And it is caused by the fact that synthetics flow much better than mineral oil. It will not cause a leak, however. Wanna make a leaky 3.0Lt Mitsubishi bleed like a slaugtered hogg……….put synthetic in it.
Your Subaru has gone 175 k on who knows what and if it still runs well and doesn’t use oil i would stick with 5w30 or 10w30 conventional oil and change it often. I bet the engine will outlast the car.
