Alright heres the thing. My coolant is extremely low, and im wondering if i should flush it out or just add more coolant to it. I've had the car for a little more than 7 months and I'm guessing the toyota dealership filled it up right before i bought it. (damn me for not checking the fluids!) Soo i called around and to get the whole thing flushed out would cost around $120-135. And containers of red factory coolant cost around $20. i exactly dont have $120-135 much on me. so i'm not sure what i should do kindasad.gif fill it up or get it flushed.
