Unhappy re-fill coolant

Has anyone needed to re-fill their coolant so far? I have a 2002 LX 5 speed, with 17,000 miles. Thanks....

I don't really check, but you shouldn't be losing coolant unless there's a leak. Oh, do you add it to the reservoir tank? I think there's a maintenance for changing the fluid, but that's not for a long time.

Thats what I thought, shouldnt have to do anything to it until later. I do remember though, when I 1st had the car, the coolant level was hovering around low already. I will do to the dealership and pick up a bottle of coolant I guess........... supposed to be poured in the reserve tank.

HappyGilmore is an unknown quantity at this point
You want to add it when the car is cooled off. Add it to the coolant tank and reservoir.

well, I did the job... the radiator had enough coolant (going by the owners manual), it was just the reserve tank that needed coolant.
