Coolant resovoir

[dudmleh522]

Just got the truck back from cam phaser, water pump and thermostat repair. Before i dropped the truck off my reservoir level was above minimum when engine is cold but now it’s below minimum. Should i add some? If so which coolant do you guys recommend.

add distilled water...

If water freezes in the winter where you live - don't add water. Add a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. That will ensure you don't have any problems temps go below freezing.

nah i am in AZ so don't need to worry about freezing.
Any particular reason not to buy the antifreeze coolant jug from autozone vs mixing my own?

I always feel like the premixed **** is a rip-off when I can by concentrate for around the same price and mix it myself to get 2 gallons for the price of 1 (but that's just me).

It’s about 3-4 cups low. Just add water. 48:52 ratio would still be fine in Alaska
