Hello and thank you for using Just Answer my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be glad to help. If you want a phone call we can but that is something the system automatically offers you and may not be necessary. Does your outback have the 2.5l engine? Why was thermostat replaced to begin with? How is your coolant level currently?
