It's not a bad idea to go ahead and buy a jug to keep on hand. With other vehicles, if you need coolant on a Sunday you can just pop into Auto Zone and pick up a jug of yellow. You can't do that with our vehicles. If you need to top off, you have to find a dealer to get blue coolant.

Fram filters should only be used in vehicles that you hate and are trying to kill. The media has a reputation for collapsing and causing oil starvation, and the anti-drain back valves have been known to fail. It's like hating your children, so you buy the toothpaste at the dollar store with Chinese script on the label hoping you get the kind sweetened with antifreeze.
