05's last year with dipsticks for oil.

Coolant reservoir under hood, when engine is cool, remove cap and the float stick will rise. Two round balls on stick. If float stick doesn't protrude above Reservoir neck, low coolant.
Fill to where lower ball on stick is even with top of reservoir neck. There is a diagram on top of reservoir...
