Just FYI on the extra coolant they gave you, if you top up make sure to do a 50/50 mix, or just add distilled water. The water is what is conducting the heat, the coolant is just there to keep the water from freezing/expanding/contracting. This was something I didn't know before I worked on the cooling system myself, I thought more coolant was better, that is not the case.
Thanks. I appreciate knowing that. What they gave me was their premix of the OEM coolant, so it's ready to use if I find it's low again. I'm going to be very observant with this, now that I know what to watch for. Hopefully, it's not a problem going forward.
