coolant fluid level? help... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

epoy · 01-01-2009, 12:34 AM

my car is a 2008 camry V6 SE.
1 year old.......7,800 miles on it.

coolant level when cold engine is below the "L" sign.
coolant level when hot engine is slightly above the "L" sign.

when i had my car service, the dealership did not re-fill any fluid.
should i worry about this? does it need a re-fill?
if it does need a refill, where can i buy this coolant fluid, its colored pink.

thanks, sorry for the bother, im just not a car expert.
happy new year to all.

You need to add a bit of coolant then.

The only place to get the coolant is from Toyota dealer - you need to ask for the pink diluted kind. Either that or next time you get it serviced, asked them to top it off.

Thats the coolant overflow tank. Basically any coolant that isn't in the system cooling, goes in there for a reserve.Thats why your seeing more coolant in there once the system is warmed up. You should defiantly get that toped off.
