Hi guys,
My check engine light came on today, and I think I might be low on engine coolant (I cant see any in the overflow). Do you guys use the orange kind or green kind?... Specific brands? The only thing I know is its not supposed to be alcohol based. I read the manual but I just want to make sure I'm right. Please let me know. -Thanks very much |

low coolant wont cause your check engine light to come on....not until you've over heated, blown the headgasket, and caused a check engine light for misfires or something.
