2012 V6 Coolant levels

Hi. Been digging through posts but still looking for an answer.

The coolant in the rad should be visible when you remove the cap correct?

Even if the overflow tank appears to be at MAX? Hard to see through that dirty milky white container.

I always pop the cap off of the plastic reservoir to look down to see the level.

Yes, the rad should be full, and the reservoir between the hot and cold lines.
