Coolant question...

Hey all.
I have 05 G coupe AT about 1 year and 4 months old since I bought it and i have about 6500 miles on it.
I checked my coolant level is I realized that it's almost GONE!
I searched couple threads about the coolant problems and some people said that I need to find the reason why the coolant level got extremely low.

Do you guys think that I should take it to dealer for further investigation as to why it got extremely low or should I just put some more coolant in and see if it drops extremely fast again before I take it to dealer?

It's pretty hard to believe that it happened considering the miles and how long I've owned this car is low, etc. Don't you do coolant replacement/refill around 30k or 2 years+ ?

Thanks.

The coolant box has 2 levels .Hot and cold.I would fill and then monitor it.Unless you just want to give the dealer some money.

Kevin, your dad brought the G to me this morning. Your coolant level is perfect, it is above the minimum line and just below the maximum line. I did not smell or see any coolant leaks. The coolant bottle is just a really big bottle, but if you look at the side the maximum level is actually pretty far down the bottle.
