Did you have a coolant related failure in either car?
Pre-LCI needed coolant every couple of thousand miles from something like 16K onward, but no cooling system failure was diagnosed unlike a lot of others on this thread (and the forum generally). I was just repeatedly told it burned coolant when driven hard. My SA was kind enough to give me all the unlimited free (blue) coolant I needed, sending me home every time I was at the dealer with a few large bottles to keep at home, and a few of the smaller (1 quart?) size to keep in the car at all times.

After PDI on my LCI (at a different dealership because it was purchased out of state), I asked the coolant level to be checked and topped off in my presence. They obliged (with green coolant), which I verified was in the tank to begin with. When break in service was done (with my above SA at my home dealer), it was topped off with green coolant.
