  • Low engine coolant, what do you recommend?

    I noticed today that my check engine light had come on but wasn't get an indication for a misfire or any of the other typical signals. I decided to check my coolant noticed that my reservoir tank was below the min line (my car was cold at this point).

    I've had the car for just under 2 years now (just hit 18K miles), I've also got the exact brand of coolant that's in the car from the owner's manual. Can I top off my coolant with the same brand to the "min" line (while cold)?

    Also, should I be taking my car into a dealer? It's still under warranty, and I'm assuming that if the coolant is low that means I may have a leak, or is it normal to lose some coolant over the life of the car?
