How much coolant to add ?

My car is showing check coolant level message . When I checked the level I can confirm its low because I see the white area on the indicator bar. My question is how much coolant should I add, should it be just enough to cover the white area on the indicator bar?

Top it up to where black to meets bow. I think you can refer to Owner's manual.
Having said that, I would look for source of leak first because coolant won't go down unless there is leak or head gasket.

Hi, do you mean where the black meets the white area?

Yes.
But please refer to owners manual.

It's not necessary to be a leak. I've topped up the coolant a couple of times years ago and I don't have a leak.

well... my car is 08 with 120,000km. Never topped it up, and hasn't lost a single drop of coolant yet.
