After purchase inside I ask one of the service guys if I can borrow a funnel, and the guy responds incredulously that they can't lend tools to customers, as though I'm going to run off with their $0.75 funnel. Said fine, screw you too, and drove back to the office.

I only added a little because I don't want to overfill while it's hot. I will check it again tonight at home when it is on level ground and the engine is cold. Here's my red Solo cup funnel

IIRC....service schedule (not manual) sez 30k mile to flush the coolant. Even if it did not, I had mine flushed for free with the 30k mile servicing. Call me old skool but 105k miles on same coolant is way to long before flushes. Running the OEM Nissan GREEN coolant part # L248SP. I think they changed to blue but green still works. They gave me a gallon for free awhile back...so money saved.
