Default Coolant Levels

Hi All,

I left my van over night so that i could measure my coolant level (2008 Dodge Caravan). I noticed that the level is below the minimum in reservoir. I have 83,500km on our van.

Do i just go out and buy HOAT coolant and fill up the reservoir? if so, to what level.

If not, what do i do?

PTMD

Yep, fill it above minimum but below max. Check the radiator as well when cold.

Any brand in particular that i should use? or simple find HOAT anti freeze.

I use Mopar 'cause I work there, ask the guy at the parts store and they will get you the right stuff.

You can have coolant in the overflow and be low in the radiator, just to be safe, I check both.
