Sounds like you have a coolant leak or your heads havent been done right or there maybe a crack in the head which has not been found.

My antifreeze keeps turning brown and full of sludge. Why is this happening?

most probably a failed/split transmission cooler in the radiator tank
If that is the case , the fix is a new radiator and a chemical flush of the radiator
get quotes from an accredited radiator shop after getting a proper diagnosis of the fault

1998 grand prix low coolant light keeps coming on thermostat,hoses,radaitor,and intake gaskits have been replaced...the radaitor is full everytime i check it

If the engine is running well and not running hot, chances are that the coolant level sensor has failed. You can either replace it or ignore the warning light and just check the level as "routine maintenance"
while checking your oil and other fluids weekly as every good vehicle owner does and has done since there were cars to drive.

My low coolant light stays on. Buick skylark 1997

first verify if the fluid is low or not, in the coolant tank and the radiator. if its low, refill it with water and have it pressure tested asap. if the radiator is not low, the sensor in the radiator is bad and will need replacement.

Just got an oil change and the oil change light is still coming on (it was doing this before I got it changed and the time before that) but now, the low coolant light is on as well...they checked all the...

To clear the oil change light,turn the key to on,and press the accelerator pedal three times real slow within 5 seconds,this will clear the light,now on the coolant light sensor,low coolant,remove the sensor on the passengers side of the radiator,it has a wire clip,so use a small pick,with a slight hook on it,the sensor is square,and flat,You will see,it needs to be cleaned out,most likely with air pressure,then put the clip back on the sensor,and it will snap back on,refill the radiator.If this was at all helpful,please rate,I have a 2000 montana myself,

Coolant lightcame on (2004 Cadilac deville. Had

Is it the LOW coolant light? Your car is equipped with a sensor on the expansion tank (radiator overflow). Right front fender. It's there for when the car heats up. As the engine heats up and the coolant expands it racks into the reservoir/overflow/expansion tank. When the engine cools, it sucks the coolant back in. If your car was low on coolant then there's a good possibility that as it cooled, it sucked the recently added fluid in. Check that it is full to the "cold full" level by looking at the tank before you start it for the day. If it's not, then the sensor is telling you to add coolant. If it is, then the sensor in the tank may be bad.

Keep seeing red light with a arrow pointing down to a wavy line. What do thtat mean

It is very likely you have a stuck float inside the coolant resevoir tank. This is very, very common. First verify that you are indeed low on coolant. If not, remove the tank, fill half way with warm water and drip in a few drops of dish soap. With the cap on and covering both openings, shake it like you're a mad man. Rinse it out then shake it and listen for a rattling noise. If you dont hear anything, time to replace the tank. The float is integrated into the tank.
