I noticed my coolant level is sitting on the minimum mark so I figured it would be time to top it up.

Is it a case of purchasing coolant, mixing it with water and adding it? Or adding the coolant neat?

I want to being it back between the Max/Min marks.

Thank you. Smile

I would put some antifreeze in.

Edit: You can check to make sure there is enough in before topping it up Thumbs Up

Winter is approaching, I'd just stick neat coolant in.

Normally you'd buy a coolant that is compatible, dilute it down if it isn't a ready mix and add that to the bottle.

For replacing the whole lot: Buy coolant and mix it with water etc.
For topping it up: In summer just add water, in winter just add coolant.

If you are just topping up and haven't got any rather than buy I would drop a cup of water into it.
