Cooling System Service

Hi,

I just paid a local dealer about $130 to do a cooling system svs., which I believe consists of a radiator drain and refill. 2004 Expedition 5.4 V8.

I checked the coolant level as I was changing the oil today and noticed that the coolant is about 2 inches low in the reservoir, and is extremely dirty and smelly.

If I just had the svs. done, shouldn't it be full, and a little cleaner?

I really don't think they touched my system, it looks like it has been driven 75,000 miles and never touched, which it has.

Thank you.
Gman
