You'd better sort the HOATS from the OATS when it comes to coolants. My dear friend with the Gates Corporation (belts and hoses) says run away from the "mixes with everything" branded stuff.

As for my late 90's Subarus that are prone to head gasket failure, when I need to change the coolant I visit the local Subaru dealer and pay them about $26 per gallon for the full strength Subaru approved/branded long life coolant. When you look at the 50-50 pre mix auto store stuff at around $16 a gallon it's really a no brainer. Gallons of distilled water are less than a dollar each.
