Interesting thing is that after driving the car, I notice the coolant level is now at the Max mark, so it has expanded up. So assuming the level is topped off to the max level at cold, when the car warms up, it'll have to release the excess? Then, it's better off I just leave at between max and min then?
As long as it's between the marks and your temps are ok then i wouldn't worry too much.

I'm finding the OEM replacement pumps just don't last. It's turning into a 2-3 year maintenance item, just like flushing brake fluid.
