Default Engine Coolant Reservoir
Hello everyone I checked my engine bay and saw my coolant reservoir level very low. I was thinking of running to autozone and purchase some coolant and I wanted to know which one I should suggest purchasing.

Dex-Cool 50/50 premix is about as easy as it gets, already has water added, no mixing.

thank you, does it matter which color of coolant I already have in there before I refill it?

I'd be more concerned as to where did the coolant go? I haven't lost a drip since '12, when I replaced the radiator with a cheap aftermarket.

I'm going to fill it up again and see if it goes down.

I recommend pressure check first, before you waste coolant.

I'm going to take a proper picture of my coolant reservoir when the car engine is cold to see where the level is.
