“At 60,000 miles, engine is losing coolant. There are no visible signs of leaks. Temperature gauge read hot. Pulled over, let engine cool down, and noticed there was no coolant. Vehicle engine oil was recently changed by walmart. And to my surprise, walmart's best oil change does not require checking coolant. Engine oil was clean and full.”
