Yeah, in definitely getting a larger overflow. This is just what was on the car when I bought it.

I wouldn't get a larger one, i would get an original, assuming you have the stock fan and shroud.
Looks like lmr has them for like $40.

might not fit depending on is fan setup. On my contour fans, there is no way a stock overflow will bolt up. I wish it did just so i could retain the low coolant sensor.

I was assuming he had an aftermarket bottle for similar reasons.

Purely for the sake of troubleshooting, the coke bottle overflow does get the job done.
