Is the the reservoir supposed to be full?

When I checked mine, there was only about a finger or two in the bottom.

I didn't notice anything in the owners manual re this.

thanks in advance for assistance/advice

 

there should be a marking that says max and min.. as long as it is within that range you should be okay.

 

+1.... It's an expansion tank and shouldn't be very full at all.
One mine there is a low mark down low on the side of the bottle, and not too far above it is the full mark.
Be careful not to overfill.

Thanks, I'll check it out

 

Funny you should mention this, I topped mine up this morning.
As Colin said, on my overflow tank I could not see a level so I added about 1 1/2 cups of AF to put it between the Min and Max level when the engine was cold. I at least like to see a level that I can monitor.

 

does this car eat more coolant and oil than most cars?

??

 

My coolant has not gone down, it was at the same level as it was when I bought it in Dec. Today I just added enough coolant so it was more easily visible in the resevoir making it easier to monitor.
No oil usage here.
Just lovin the car

 

what happens if you overfill it? I think I did this...

 

the tank might explode?
