ok so i checked my coolant level this morning and as was previously thought, it was dreadfully low. now this begs the question of:
Is there a specific kind of coolant i need to get?
the kind i saw in there looked red to me or brownish.
Also:
Do I need to add water to the coolant and how much?
How much do I fill the coolant tank up to?
Do I need to drain the remaining fluid out first?
Should I just take it to the Jiffy Lube down the street?
And if the coolant is helping the engine to not overheat anymore, and there are no leaks that I can see, what should I do if the "check engine" light is still on?
i am a novice with these types of things.
