So I checked and the coolant level is right below the cool line. Like about 1" or 1.5" below.

Should I just top it off with 50/50 Dex Cool back to the Cool Line?

use water itll help in the summer heat, eventually need to put dexcool in for winter... dexcool is needed so the water in the resevoir and cooling system doesnt freeze water is better for cooling as heat is more easily transfered to it

Thank you.

I thought Dexcool was meant for the opposite. Since it had "cool" in there. :rofl:

the coolant is also important because it raises the boiling point so you aren't loosing as much to evap
