05 Sienna coolant level below Min

[Sienna Driver]

I noticed the coolant level in my 2-yr old 05 Sienna is about half inch below Min level. I bought it brand new in 2005 summer. I think I remember the level is near max when it's new but haven't check it until yesterday. Is this normal?

The dealer wants $35 per gallon for the super long life coolant(pink). Does anyone know where I can buy the pink stuff online for a reasonable price?

Try online I usualy get mine for $19-$24 a gallon at my Dealership. The price varries depending on who is ringing me up!That is normal and to be honest I would just top the res. off with distilled water at this point and call it good unless you live soem place that get's artic blast's!!!! If you put in a better location as in what state out of the 50 you live in people can make more intelligent recomendations to your fluid questions!

my fluid in my not even 1 year old civic dropped like an inch and a half below the min line. IT was pretty much empty. bought hona coolant and topped it off. idk if this has to do with the weather but i hope it does. otherwise doesn't that mean there is a coolant leak?

Perhaps the easiest way is to drop off the vehicle at the dealership (since it's still under warranty) and say that you suspect a coolant leak. They'll probably test the system and top it up free of charge.

Well I bought a jug from eBay for $19 shipped. I'll keep an eye on the level. The PS fluid level was near Min a month ago and I topped it off and now it's near Min again. I'll definitely pay the dealer a visit before warranty runs out.

Sometimes dealers send out coupons with pretty good deals. I got a $12.88 coupon for any antifreeze. I bought 3 gallons.

Are you up to date with the recalls.Can't remember exactly which model year but their was a recall on the raditors and three p.s. lines.

My civic went below the min line as well...I'm keeping an eye on it. I suspect it is due to the extreme cold we had recently. If it keeps dropping I'll take it to the dealer.
