Question Reminder of how to top off fluids

[axlrose]

I haven't done it in a while, and I'm looking to top off my fluids. My res looks a little lower than normal. I feel like I can just unscrew the cap while it's running and top off the fluids. I guess I'm just looking for a few people to reassure me I'm not crazy and to verify I shouldn't have the system off before adding fluid instead etc. I'm thinking having the system running keeps the water moving instead of having problems with it pooling somewhere and overflowing etc. Thanks.

One answer:

Use the applicable cooling system User Guide/Manual procedures to add fluids. Follow the procedures precisely and carefully.

Doing anything else to top off the resevoir may end catastrophically and could void any number of warranties. The latter likely to be the least of the potential bad results.

Fluids and live electronics do not play well together.

So don't just screw off the lid on the res and add a little fluid with the system on or off?
