POSSIBLE CAUSES OF OVERHEATING
Do you know?

Overheating can be caused by anything that
decreases the cooling system's ability to
absorb, transport and dissipate heat: A low
coolant level, a coolant leak (through internal or
external leaks), poor heat conductivity inside
the engine because of accumulated deposits in
the water jackets, a defective thermostat that
doesn't open, poor airflow through the radiator,
a slipping fan clutch, an inoperative electric
cooling fan, a collapsed lower radiator hose, an
eroded or loose water pump impeller, or even a
defective radiator cap.

Definitely their is something wrong with your cooling system. It need no refill often. It is a close system where coolant is not expected to escape regularly.
You need to have it check!!!
