I'm assuming I just fill to the top of the yellow marker, but the fact that my owner's manual shows a floating dipstick of some sort makes me worried. Like I said only 11k miles on the car so this is the first time the reservoir has been opened. Is this normal on the n55s? Took almost a full quart of coolant / 50-50 distilled water to bring it up to the yellow circle.

This is after I had already added almost a full quart:

Looks like you're good now. Fluid level is above the "min" and below "max"
