ok so i got in my car this morning started her up and the low coolant light flashed up on the dic, befor i could pop the hood and get out of the car the light had turned off. i went and checked the coolant level and while it was a little low it didnt seem like anything serious at least yet. the level is just touch below the lip on the coolant bottle and there is still flow threw the line by the SC. no smoke out the exhaust or anything so i dont its serious. but i have heard that we use a special kind of coolant and i was wondering were i can get it dexcool i believe it is right?

 

advance, autozone, pepboys..hell i think even walmart

 

Same thing happened to me this morning. Coolant level seems fine at a quick glance. Maybe the sensor does not like the cold.

 

mine does it all the time.. i just ignore it as it goes away in like a min

 

I think the lip is right around the level that sets the sensor off. Just add some coolant after the vehicle cools down and you should be just fine.

 

Mine did it this morning.. ever since it got cold out. It's done it twice so far.. not a big deal.

 

Mines does that everytime I start the car when it is even a little bit cool out. It goes away after a minute.

 

My Cavalier would do it year round..went away after a while. Never low on coolant though.
