Default wow completelly forgot.

Do I need to get some of the coolant fluid before changing the engine coolant temperature sensor. I do know it's gonna spill a bit but no clue how much. If so what antifreeze fluid should I use. I guess I'm gonna have stop by the dealership.

Default Pentosin Red is what you need, available from a number of on-line suppliers...

or your local independent foreign auto parts store. Sold in 1.5L bottles.

Default If you're quick not much is lost

You can just top of the lost coolant with some distilled water.

If you feel you need coolant, you want the G12+.<ul><li><a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1092">G12+ Coolant</a></li></ul>

Be safe and grab an extra slide clip before you start.

And you'll save $0.48! Funny! I did not lose too much coolant, but you're right to have some.
