Default G12 Coolant a bit above MAX is that ok?

So my G12 coolant was at the min when running, so after letting the car cool down I added some G12 coolant, but I may have added to much. Although it was below the MAX line when cold, when the engine is hot (Temp Gauge Pointer in Middle) the orange coolant is a bit maybe 1.5mm above the max line. I am wondering if this is ok? Or do I need to go buy a cooking syringe to suck some out. ASAP before my engine gets damaged

Thanks

If your coolant level is just above the max line, I wouldn't worry about it. There's still room for excess coolant in the tank. If you really over fill the coolant tank, the worst that can happen is overflow. It's not like the engine oil which can foam up and lose protection.

I actually had to add some coolant in my car a few day ago. The owners manual states that that is what is exactly what suppose to happen. "when the car is running the coolant level raises above the max line"

ok thanks. I was just worried because the tank cover look pretty secure and was afraid the coolant line of something might explode from the pressure. haha
