In my first year of ownership, I had a low coolant warning. SA told me it wasn't unusual, that coolant can "settle" after factory. He said there was no sign of leakage when they topped it off and I'd probably go a long long time before needing to top off again.

That was in 2013, maybe summer. So this morning I got the low coolant warning again. Three years later, maybe around 35,000 miles more on odometer. I'm skipping the dealership this time, since in a couple months I'll be having my last service under warranty. I'll make sure they check the hoses and so on thoroughly then. For now I just picked up a gallon and some distilled water. Should have those on hand anyway.

Maybe it's a lot of short commutes in LA traffic? Assuming there's no slow leak (and I've never seen any sign of leakage under car, if it would drip down). Still love my X1! But it's thirsty for coolant...
