Engine Coolant level
The coolant in my reserve tank seems to go down over time. By over time...I mean in two years it goes from from mid-way between min and max, to min.
Is that normal? Seems a bit fast to me. I don't notice any leaks, and the operating temperature of the car is always normal.
Thanks.

I was at 2 years and it was below min. I hadnt checked for a while and then I just filled it back up asap. I didnt see any overheating or anything abnormal when it was below min though.

I just purchased mine this past March...level is fine but its really dark. Manual says that it doesn't have to be changed I think near 60,000miles...I just hit 50....should I wait or it wouldn't matter if I got it changed early?

For testing the PH, could you use one of those pool testers? I think the scale is standard and goes from 1-14, and you just match up the colors.
What is the pH supposed to be?

I don't know if I even seen what the pH level is in the manual.
I can hit up Walmart this weekend and look for that kit.
Thx everyone!
