Hello, Mike,
Don't fret about your coolant level. All cars have their individual "comfort spot" where coolant level is concerned and your car is only trying to tell you hers.
I had to learn that the hard way when I was driving a Chrysler 440 for a few years, and wanting to take Real Good Care of it, topped off coolant every time I started her up in the morning. But Just As Soon as she stopped after a long run, she rather noisily and spectacularly burped green blood all over the parking lot, frightening more than a few customers at some Posh restaurant or other into thinking the car was about to explode, causing alarm more than once and causing me no end of embarrassment, Just as I might be ordering a nice Gewurztraminer to accompany dinner. But she never ran too warm!
After a rather Petulant display like that, however, she was happy as a clam until the Next time I filled the coolant to the Factory Recommended level.
I *Finally* figured out (no one has ever accused me of being quick learner) just leave the coolant level where THE CAR wanted it and ignore the FILL TO HERE marks.
