I have narrowed my car purchase to a (2005) Equinox. It was comfortable ride and has all the amenities. This site is interesting in that I can not get a feel from what I've read. Pls let me know if you are a owner of a Equinox would you do it again? Would you recommend your family and friends to make the purchase? What are some the highest mileages that people are recording. Example I currently drive a Volvo and though she is getting older she still has  least another 100,000 to go

I noticed this morning (engine cold) that my coolant in my tank is about 1 inch under the "cold fill level" line. I can't see anything on the ground, nothing is wet, my radiator doesn't seem to be leaking. Last time I used the truck my temperature gage reading was normal. Is it possible that the level comes low and then goes back to its normal level while driving? If so, I don't want to add some and then it's going to be over filled.

It's normal to have a small amount , couple of ounces of lost in 5-9 months depending on age and mileage of the vehicle. Your vehicle sounds like it's just operating normally but if the problem continues have GM check it for a possible leak in the cooling system.

Replying to: laserblue (Feb 24, 2009 10:18 am) Example, Aluminum expands faster and farther than steel does at the same temperature, the 3.4 engine has a case Steel (case iron) block with Aluminum heads There's a better chance of tiny leaks due to the disimaliar rates of expansion of the two metals. Compare this to other GM engines that are completely made from Aluminum, like the 2.0 , 2.2 , 2.4, 3.6, 4.4, 4.6, 5.3, 6.2 and the 7.0 liter . These are better built engines. Hope this helps clear up your question.
