    Just add more. Depending on low it is, you can either add straight water or mix of Super Long Life Coolant.

    A sensible coolant flush interval is every 6 years, according to the earlier Canadian maintenance booklet.

    Coolant should be good for 100,000 miles/10 years...Just add more and cerify the overflow bottle isn't emptying, signalin a leak/bad gasget.
