Mine dropped in the first few thousand miles. Then I filled it, and it hasn't dropped again in two years.

If you overfill it with coolant, the worst that will happen is that it will overflow onto the ground when it gets hot. It does no damage. It just makes a mess.

I don't buy that. First, even though it's not airtight, the system shouldn't allow that much evaporation over the course of a few months. That kind of loss should take years if it happens at all.

Second, it actually does take years after that initial top-off or simply no longer happens. If evaporation were really the issue, it wouldn't stop evaporating after the first refill as so many people have reported. Mine dropped in the first few thousand miles and hasn't dropped since, and that seems to be the norm. If that initial loss evaporated, why does it stop evaporating? That makes no sense.
