Anyone have trouble reading the coolant level?

spyder2244 · 11-22-2007, 12:13 AM

Anyone have trouble reading the coolant level in a non-SI? I have a 2006 Civic EX. First off, the front part is almost completely blocked by the battery. Second, the fluid does not show through the coolant tank at all. I had to open it up to even verify that coolant was in the tank. I still can't determine if it is above the max line or not. Anyone else have issues with this? Any other way to check it to determine that is not under/over filled?

Good question. I could never have a visual on the coolant level.
A dipstick may be?

take a flashlight over the resevoir.

also, ur better off having it a little bit over (which won't do anything) than having it under.
