Winterizing- need to fill with anti freeze?
Ive been searching on the forums here for winterizing. I will be storing my outback outside for the winter under cover. I see alot of people drain the manifolds and so on of water. Is filling the system with anti freeze necessary? Or just drain and call it a day?
I also bought some engine fogging oil. Would this be worth it to do??

If you get a compete and proper drain, there is nothing to freeze.

Just suck it in though the water pump and recirculate it from the exhaust output?

Yes, you'll need a bucket with a spigot, and a fake a lake, and set it on the swim step. Rev the engine a bit. It will suck 6-ish gallons up in less than a minute.

What about engine fog? Good to do also?

Someone else will have to answer that for sure. I bought some fogging oil, then someone said not to fog if you have catalytic converters, so I didn't fog mine.

I recall reading about no fogging in the CAT motor because of a sensor issue.
It's posted somewhere on here.

My outback is 2003.
If we dont use fog should we do anything to protect the cylinders?
For sucking in antifreeze i can just hook the hose up to the water pump and put the other end in the bucket and suck it in? And recirculate it from out exhaustLast edited by Dom08; 10-29-2018 at 01:02 AM.
