    Yes that will work. $$17.50 + $10 is probably more than what you would pay at the dealer.

    Has your car had the coolant changed before? It's odd it would be low

    You mean that it will be cheaper at dealer? I dont think my car has coolant change before. I bought it as used car when 22500 mile,now is 46xxx mile. I crack 24xxx mile in 8 months.

    Not sure why the coolant would be low with 46,000 miles on it. It shouldn't leak.

    A gallon of coolant at the dealer should be around $25. No need to wait and have it shipped to you.

    On ours the engine circuit coolant's at the low mark, at 48000 km. The inverter circuit's a bit higher. Think it's just evaporation.
