Surely a Mitsubishi specialist would not say just add water. The level should not move unless there is a problem.
Actually they would recommend that, if for instance your coolant was low and you had to top it up and had no access to genuine coolant, they would tell you to use water because if you used some other coolant and mixed it with the genuine stuff already in the system all hell could break loose inside your engine.
I was an apprentice at a large Mitsubishi dealer and every Monday I would have to mix and add additives to the RECYCLED coolant, yes when it was drained out of one car, filtered into a 205 and then had glycol added to it to the correct concentration and then put into another car.
I know dealers use the premixed coolant now but it's essentially the same as concentrate diluted with water to the correct concentration, adding 500ml of water isn't going to dilute it enough to be a concern
