Default Coolant reservoir empty

Hello

I noticed after driving a slight burn smell so I opened the hood and noticed the coolant reservoir was empty.
1. What coolant should I get to refill?
2. Do I fill it from the reservoir directly?
3. How far up do I need to fill it? I didn't see any lines that say maximum on the reservoir.

This is for a 2005 rx330

Toyota PINK aka super long life coolant. Fill the reservoir about 3/4 then monitor the level you should always see some with a cold engine. A good coolant alternative is Zerex Asian Formula.
