Adding Coolant?

Hi all,
Quick question to those of you who know more about this than me:

I have a 2010 V6 DC w/ Tow Package. I purchased the truck new. It now has 50000 miles. I do all my own maintence, and check fluids at every or every other fill up. Recently noticed my overflow tank was about at the low mark. This has been on a very slight decline..... Went to Toyota, purchased coolant, and added about 1/3 a gallon of coolant, maybe a little more. Have any of you guys had to do this? Oil looks fine, not milky or frothy, no temp issues, I do tow an RV every now and again.... Short of doing a pressure test, should I be worried?

 

I just added some to mine recently too. Same model as yours but mine has about 42k. I just needed to fill up the overflow, it was pretty much empty. I did notice a lot of pink gunk around where the line from the radiator goes to the overflow tank.

 

If your radiator cap is not sealed fully, you will evaporate coolant from the radiator slowly. Might want to pick up a new radiator cap. It's cheap insurance in my opinion.

 

Don't ge to krazie if you start adding coolant.

But honestly, just top it up the full line and keep an eye on it. Don't worry unless t starts disappearing fast, or you're overheating.

 

Just posting so I don't get a fucking text from Jamie with a link to this thread a "lol".

 

You should just link that thread in your sig...

 

Why bother? It gets enough views without my help.

That's why we love you
