In Florida, fairly warm year round. Coolant reservoir is about half way between max and low. Never refilled, running about 5500 miles.

Just a note of knowledge the Low and full aren't really Low and full. As Coolant becomes hot and expands it can raise as it pushes fluid from the radiator into the reservoir and then when it cools down and condenses it retracts back into the radiator thanks to the simple beautiful thing called the Radiator cap. So as long as you aren't at empty and somewhere in between then you should be cool. Same thing goes for the dipsticks and and any other fluid like Power steering in other cars. Brake Fluid not so much in street cars it typically only changes with pad wear.

My BRZ has 9,000 miles and the coolant level has been steady.

What coolant is OEM? If it's Toyota Long Life, it's good for 100K miles but it's pink, not blue or green.
