Probably more like a $60k question ... I'd get it topped off now, though. As for removing the Racechip, depends on your SA and the techs at your dealership. If I wasn't familiar with them and was handing the car over, I'd remove it.

I had this pop up on a Saturday morning as I was about to drive 100 miles to a 50 mile cruise a couple months ago, so I wasn't feeling too great about letting it go and I didn't have any coolant on hand. Luckily it was 8AM and my SA gets in early, he just had me stop by right then and came out to the driveway with coolant in hand to do it himself, he didn't even check me in.

FWIW, he said it happens pretty often with the V8s. There's not a lot of air circulation in the engine compartment, and it's pretty sensitive. Mine only took a few ounces of coolant to be happy again.
Yep thanks
