Checking coolant

[Alan gsd]

I find it quite dfficult to check the level in the coolant reservoir of my 2005 CRV. The reservoir is  buff coloured and I'm never sure i'm seeing the level the best I have found is hold a short stick on the outside - bottom to the top mark, then hold the stick in the reservoir and see how far up the coolant comes - must be a better way??? please anyone

It is quite difficult I agree Alan but how you suggest is probably the best option, I fortunately can see the level on my 2008 CRV which is a blessing.
