Well, keep an eye on the coolant level - it should never go low, unless there's a leak somewhere.

It's hard to figure out what you're concern is here. But if your temp gauge is reading really high, you might want to check the Coolant Temp Sensor. It might be dirty or just be a bad sensor. If it's just dirty, remove the CTS and check inside and make sure there is no debris or oil in there. After cleaning it, reinstall, and it should go back to normal, if not it most likely its a bad sensor.
And if your radiator coolant level is full and coolant reservoir is filled to the appropriate line, and you're certain of no leaks, yet your low coolant light still stays lit. You might want to check the Coolant Level Sensor. Also could be dirty or have gone bad. Once again remove it, clean it, and reinstall. If still not working, might want to replace the sensors. Clean before replace.

Im saying it is fixed. It was my intake gaskets, it put water in my oil. So i had the "fix kit" put on. The car is performing ten times better than it was.
