Default Engine coolant
Hi. Should the engine coolant level be at the low mark or the high mark (full) in the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold?

When cold, the fluid should "technically" be at the lower level marking. However, it really isnt a big deal if you aren't having problems.

Thats basically just an overflow bottle as long as the radiator is full, and you can pinch the hoses and see the coolant, youre fine.

I keep my coolant level midway between low and max when the engine is cold.
