Hey everybody well I decided to get my coolant flushed the other day at the dealer because you guys pretty much persuaded me to. When I checked it the next day before starting it up it was slightly below the cold fill line. Should I add some water to get it up to the fill level or is it okay?

Temperature will also play a role. If your system was warm when it was flushed, as its refilled, the mixture will warm and expand. ONce the system cools off completely, it will retreat to its normal level which will be slightly low as you describe.

^^or take it back to the dealer and let them top it off with the HOAT.....or buy some at NAPA. It is around $10-11 a gallon last time I checked with them. No other place around here has it anyway.
