"Check coolant level"
 

hey guys just got that message today on my way home from work.

Im guessing i need to add to it.
what exactly do i add and howmuch?
thanks!
oh its a 4.4

Stop by your local dealer and pick up a gallon of coolant. Do a 50/50 mixture of the BMW coolant and distilled water. After the vehicle has cooled down then open up the radiator cap and fill it to the top.

Are there over the counter coolants that are equal to BMW coolant?

same question!

cause delaer is closed now... and im going to be driving for about 2 hours tonight... will the truck be ok?

just opened the cap to take a peek inside, and i see some red long "antenna" like meter in there.
its at the bottom and there is no visual coolant!
is this normal?!

You can get bottled distilled water and use that to re-fill.

just did some reading and the auto place has Dexcool coolant, the AC Delco and Prestone.
Which can the truck take?
sorry guys!

DexCool is the way to go...
see post #2 in link, pasted.
