I used your video to change my radiator. Thank you so much! Saved me thousands. Easy to understand and it only took me just a couple hours. I’m just a chick that didn’t want to spend the money so thank you!!
I likely neglected to film the trans fluid check. Dipstick for trans on the 3.6 engine is to the rear of the engine on the drivers side. I like to check the level with it warm and a tiny funnel into that dipstick tube is how I added a tiny amount of fluid. Good luck.
I changed out my radiator on my 2014 OUtback with 3.6R. Thanks to your video all went very smoothly. I did notice that when I looked for the filler bolt for the transmission I couldn't find it. It seems that my 5 speed transmission actually has a dipstick located near center in front of the firewall down low. I assumed all current Subaru transmissions were closed though mine it seems is not. A happy discovery!
Riddle me this, this subaru engine has 3 radiator hoses... My theory is that if we start from the water pump and go in the direction it's pumping, it goes to the thermostat through the cylinder head(s) (not sure exactly before that is where i'm lost), if thermostat closed and engine heating up, it pumps through one cylinder head, to one of the top radiator hoses, across the radiator, to the other, back through the other head and completes that circle. Thermostat opens at OT then it pumps through large bottom hose to bottom of radiator, then up through radiator (fins and fans help extract heat) then through one or both cylinder heads at same time through both hoses (cylinder heads have a coolant hose on top of block that also joins them) then down through pump and cycle continues... am i close? I'm just trying to work it out logically in my head but seems a little complex in the actual flow.

Awesome. I’m glad it gave you enough insight to try and tackle it and save some serious money!
Excellent, what I needed to see. Thank you! Do you have a video on how to check transmission fluid and fill what was lost in radiator replacement?

The radiator is actually a dual in-flow. Each head has its own return to the rad; hence the dual hoses.
Hey, what size hose clamps did you use ?
Thank you for making this video!!!
Glad it was helpful. A few more details in the video description.
