Checking the engine coolant level [Toyota Camry XV20]

Look into the clear coolant reservoir when the engine is cold. The coolant level is good if it is between the "FULL" and "LOW" lines on the reservoir. If the level is lower, add ethylene glycol type coolant to properly protect aluminum components from corrosion.

The coolant level in the tank will change depending on the engine temperature. But if the level is below the "LOW" line, add coolant. Raise the level to the "FULL" line.

If the coolant level drops shortly after refilling, there may be a leak in the system. Visually inspect the radiator, hoses, engine coolant filler cap, radiator cap and drain plug, water pump.

If you do not find any leaks, you should have the pressure cap checked by your dealer to see if there is a leak in the cooling system.

Caution: To avoid burns, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
