This probably sounds ridiculous but how can I tell where my coolant level is on this resovoir? I see where the min and max lines are but I cannot see through the container to be able to tell. How much coolant should I see when I open the cap to the radiator?
Lol
Omg this poor J30 is so ready to retire.
I just need her to hang on for me a few more months lol 😂

When dark out , with hood up , with flashlight in hand and at the ready with either proper coolant OR DISTILLED water - shine the flashlight at ALL angles into and / or around the rsvr. AND try to bump/rock the front of car to see any jossling if needed to discern the level . IF it's so low , go add to the rsvr. in increment until your satisfied.

IS what I do with my J30.
