Car overheating
For some reason when I'm in traffic or even at a drive thru my car's temperature goes towards the 75% mark. But when I'm actually driving...even for a minute, it goes down to less than 25% mark. I have a intake, which i think makes the difference. How much coolant should I have?

As much as will fit. heheh. The reservoir will siphon it in, so if it's empty you need to add. It's marked on the reservoir where to fill to. When cool, open the rad cap, you should see coolant, or if not give the upper rad hose a little squeeze and you should see it. Fill accordingly. Sounds like a fan prob though, if it's only under low or no speeds. It's an easy fix.

Yeah could be not opening enuf, but still doesn't accound for temp drop after moving. The fan(s) should maintain.

well, if it's stuck at a certain point, when you start to drive and move air, it will drop, sometimes even too much.....exact thing happened to me this winter
