By anti-rust I think they mean anti-corrosion but, still, you are probably right and I should do another flush. On coolant, you suggest Prestone? That is the green stuff with no phosphates and low silicates, right? I ask because Subaru has switched to no silicate and phosphated HOAT coolant. Zerex has a compatible one they call Zerex Asian. Prior to Subaru, and other Japanese car companies, switching gears on the coolant choice, I think Zerex G-05 was the closest match to the old Subaru coolant.
Gotta remember what was and what is...

The SVX was designed 20 years ago. Prestone Green is good
