Can I use Prestone antifreeze coolant in my Subaru?

According to the search results, it appears that Prestone antifreeze coolant can be used in a Subaru. Here are some key points from the search results:
– Prestone claims to be a silicate/phosphate/borate/nitrite-free coolant that can protect all engine cooling system metals, including aluminum.
– Subaru owners have used Prestone coolant in their vehicles without any issues.
– Subaru coolant is not significantly different from other coolants used by Asian manufacturers, such as Honda and Toyota. They are all P-OAT (phosphated organic acid technology) coolants with different colors.
– It is important to use the correct coolant for your Subaru. Subaru-specific coolant is recommended.

However, you should not mix them. In a pinch, OK, but you should then flush and replace (with either Prestone or Dexcool).
