Adding Coolant
Does it matter what kind of coolant to add as long as its mixed?
My Coolant level is right below then"low" line (when the car is cold) I don't know If that's ok or not since it expands when it's hot? |
How far below and when was the last time you had it filled?
Generally coolant level should not drop, but top up 1 liter in a year should be ok if you live in hot climate. If you consume a liter in a month then there is something wrong, maybe a leak somewhere. I would suggest to bring it to dealer. |

for our cars i would suggest going with what is recommended from the factory and that is the blue coolant. the blue coolant comes pre-diluted so you dont have to add water, just top it off.

I've never added any since I've had it for 7 months now when it was full When I went in for my first oil change I pointed it out to them But they didn't top it off and marked it as ok so I don't know It's just bothering me :( |

Just find the correct coolant, top it up a bit and monitor it. I had a car with bad head gasket before and the car took a liter of coolant every month. It's a good idea to check your fluids (oil, brake, coolant) every 2 weeks or at least once a month. If it's getting worse mention it to dealer when you do the next service. Ask them to do the compression test or sniff test. |
