[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 843941, member: 52972"] Todd is correct. The coolant expands when it's warm/hot and will rise to a higher level in the overflow reservoir. Oil and other fluids are similar in that they will eventually all drop to the lowest point in the system. If you check the fluids when they are warm they have not had time to drain down to the lowest point in the syste. If the then check the fluids after 6 months of sitting, you will notice they are lower....very normal. If you are going to store a car and expect to fire it up and drive it right away, you should start it and drive it every few weeks or at least once a month. Funny things happen to cars when they sit for 3+ months, especially in the winter time. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
