my 2002 regal ls, coolant light is on steady. the special coolant that it comes with was mixed with a quart or two of regular antifreeze.I have flushed it out and put in recommended anti freeze and a thermostat but the light stays on. there is no sensor in the coolant overflow resevoir. it has 67,000 miles.on a v6 3.8 engine. It runs good and does't seem to use any or little coolant. I do not see any coolant in oil or oil in coolant. the mix is 50/50. what should i do?

I would replace the low coolant level sensor.It is located in the radiator about 4 to 6 inchs down on the sameside as the radiator cap....

note:remove right headlamp to replace senor...Makes it alot easier....

I'm with Cly on that. Either replace the sensor or live with the light and keep checking periodically.
