Subaru Tribeca (B9) (EU)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Subaru Tribeca (B9) (EU) coolant capacity ranges from 7,2 to 7,6 liters. Service intervals include checks at 30000 km/24 months and changes at 30000 km/24 months, 120000 km/72 months, or 220000 km/132 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Subaru Tribeca (B9) (EU) cooling system capacity differs between the two generation variants covered in the specifications. The 2006-2008 variant holds 7.2 liters, while the 2008-2011 variant holds 7.6 liters, a difference of 0.4 liters that reflects a revised cooling circuit volume.
  • For the 2006-2008 variant under normal use, the cooling system change interval is listed at 30,000 km or 24 months. A separate entry labeled "my 2009" for the same 2006-2008 variant extends the normal use change interval significantly to 120,000 km or 72 months, indicating a revised service schedule introduced with the 2009 model year specification.
  • The "my 2009" designation within the 2006-2008 variant entries refers to a model year 2009 specification update applied to that generation, not a separate vehicle generation. Both entries for the "my 2009" note share the same 7.2-liter capacity.
  • Under initial service conditions for the "my 2009" specification of the 2006-2008 variant, the first coolant check is due at 30,000 km or 24 months, while the change interval extends to 220,000 km or 132 months. The 132-month figure equals 11 years, which is a notably long service life for factory-fill coolant under initial service conditions.
  • The 2008-2011 variant follows the same structural pattern of two use conditions. Under normal use, the change interval is 120,000 km or 72 months, with a check at 30,000 km or 24 months. Under initial service, the change interval reaches 220,000 km or 132 months, again with a check at 30,000 km or 24 months.
  • The 220,000 km change interval listed under initial service for both the "my 2009" and the 2008-2011 variant entries represents a factory-fill coolant formulation designed for extended service life before the first full replacement is required.
