Have a question re normal car coolant. It's just at the min level, should I top it up?

It'll be due a service in about two months. Thanks,

Joey.

Ya just top it up. Dont open it after driving as it is under pressure and would spill out possibly. Fine when cool though. Get the same colour as whats in there and fill up to max. If its a dirty looking colour, get it changed at next service but for now its more important that you dont let it go low.
