yeah so I popped off the cap just to take a looksie, and what do you know, I can't see any coolant in that bitch. Which coolant should I buy exactly, how much, and how many issues do you think this will cause me in the future? and where did the damn shit go? I don't have any puddles. Or is this the way it's supposed to be and I'm just crazy??

Thanks!!

There is a line at the base of the filler neck that you fill it up to. Just go get a small bottle of dexcool. 50/50 mix with water.

i doubt it's bone dry, just add a tiny bit of distilled water to it, no need to buy a bottle of expensive dexcool

it's very common on redlines for the filler neck to never have coolant in it, yet their systems are not bone dry. Add a bottle of distilled water to it, i bet you won't have to add much.

make sure the car is running when you add water or coolant. Air bubbles will come up, but like everyone is saying its probably not that much missing. Mine does the same thing, then again i had a leak in my stock h/e.
