Consumer Description

CONTINUAL LOSS OF COOLANT. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE REASON FOR COOLANT LOSS. NO NOTICEABLE EVIDENCE OF LOSS SUCH AS DRIPS OR POOLS OF COOLANT. NO EXPERIENCE OF STALLING OR OVERHEATING AS LONG AS I REPLACE LOST COOLANT ONCE IT REACHES "ADD COOLANT" LEVEL, WHICH OCCURS ABOUT EVERY 4-6 MONTHS. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED AS MY COOLANT WAS "TOPPED OFF" WITH EVERY OIL CHANGE EVERY 6 MONTHS. SINCE I NO LONGER DRIVE MANY MILES I DO NOT CHANGE OIL EVERY 6 MONTHS AND STARTED NOTICING THE LOW COOLANT LEVELS MYSELF IN JUNE 2017 AND HAVE BEEN ADDING COOLANT MYSELF SINCE THEN.
