Is the level in the reservoir correct but the radiator low? If so you have some issues. Once the coolant loop is filled and bleed you should never need to add coolant at the radiator.

I think that I added about 4 ounces of coolant to the radiator, although it spilled just a little when I removed my spill-proof funnel and then a little more when I reinstalled the cap.

The reservoir was mostly empty.

Yes, of course the actual Odyssey problem needs to be fixed, but I need to order one of these!


Do you know what is frustrating? I was thinking that I would buy Mom a fitness tracker so I can know whether she is alive or dead when she intentionally and maliciously sleeps in, etc.

Fitbit Versa is supposed to have the best sensors, but when I looked into it I found 9 people saying someone close to them died, but their Fitbit tracker still showed a heartbeat hours later.

I got the Mi Band 6 when it was on sale for $25.

https://hekka.com/products/xiaomi-mi...cid=21k6_ovot&

Prior to that I had a Mi Band 3 for 3 years that I got for $12 when it was on sale.

The 6 adds SpO2 sensor and a color display, and needs to be charged once a week instead of once a month.

Easily the best value in the low end fitness trackers.

What, you don't want the Chinese to take all your precious bodily fluids?

The Mi only has bluetooth, no WiFi or internet connection. The app you install on your phone however scrapes all the data and shovels it to China.

That takes 30 seconds at a time. This also monitors SpO2, sleep quality and steps, gives weather forecast, displays reminders, incoming calls, and text messages. Has the date and time, which is the thing I use most often as that's even easier than grabbing my phone.

If you need an alarm and don't want to wake others up too, it can vibrate on your wrist.

Lots of stuff for a $25 device.

I gave one each to a husband/wife and they became competitive, and neither have any interest in doing exercise, but they like to compete.

Anyhow, I'd recommend it to anyone considering a $600 Apple or Garmin tracker as a way to see if it's useful or not before the big spend. What prevented me from getting an Apple watch is the fact that it won't even run 24hrs on a charge. Presumably you charge while sleeping, but then it's not keeping track of your sleep.
