    car is Civic LXi '96.

    had my coolant replaced 2 weeks ago, isinabay ko lang sa change oil.

    clearly saw that the coolant almost reached the MAX level sa reservoir...just checked kanina, and its nearer to the MIN level

    wala akong makitang tagas...wala rin namang overheat concerns yung oto.

    sobrang taka lang ako kung bakit parang mabilis lang bumaba yung coolant sa reservoir. cause for concern kaya ito?

    That's normal after having a complete coolant change because of air pockets inside the system. Just top up with coolant and you're good to go.

    dude 96' model pa yang otto mo kaya medyo mag expect ka na ng mga posible na problema, check mo kung may traces ng leak sa bottom part ng water pump. baka due for service na water pump mo. Kadalasan jan sa breather tumatagas yan. Nagbabawas ng konti ang level ng coolant kung hindi na bleed properly nung nag palit ka ng coolant.

    Had the same problem with our 96' Vti ended up raplacing the engine 'back pressure' daw sabi ng mekaniko. Have it check baka kasi high pressure leak kaya d mo nakikita pag naka stop.

    continious ba ang pag babawas, subukan mong magdagdag then monitor mo muna kung magbabawas pa , pag di na wag mo nang problemahin ok na yan.

    subukan mo muna ibleed. baka may natira pang air pockets sa water jackets.

    remove rad cap and race engine several times until no large bubbles bloat at the rad neck. then refill with coolant when cold.

Mabilis bumaba na coolant sa reservoir?
