In short no. Your cars cooling system is a sealed unit therefore it should not use any coolant whatsoever no matter the ambient temperature.

How do you fill the coolant level in a 97 grand Prix It says on radiator to see manual for special instructions?

Start with a cold engine.Remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator with Dexcool coolant (I think it's a red/pink color, not the usual green. DO NOT use any other product.)If the radiator was very low, start the car and add coolant as far as you can. Running a cold engine without the cap won't harm anything and allow air to escape from the cooling system.Replace the cap and add coolant to the overflow bottle. I fill it to the "cold line" so that I can see if it needs more over time.Drive the car and check for changes in the cold level. If coolant is still being lost then you must decide if you want to continue replacing coolant or take it to a shop for proper repair.

You can check the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold, if the coolant level is below the add line top it off with the proper coolant, not just water. It is not a good idea to add just plain water. You should use at least a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze.
