  Not real sure what you are referring to as far as "warming up." If you are
talking about the engine temp, then I would suspect the thermostat is bad.
If
you are referring to the air temp coming out of your heater, then yes, low
water level can affect the temp of the heated air. Your system needs to be
full
in order to have enough hot water flowing through the heater, to produce
plenty
of hot air.

If your system has Dex cool, (the yellow stuff) in it now, then just add
more
like you would the green stuff. Do not inter mix the two. Also remember that
too much antifreeze is as bad as not enough. Pre mix it, 50/50 before you
add
it. Antifreeze does wear out too. With Dex cool, 5 years, or 50,000 miles,
you
need to change it.
