I just use 50% Dexcool and 50% Water (Distilled) Like it says to.
I baught 1 gallon of 50/50 premix Dexcool and 1 gallon of Concentrate.
That way when the 50/50 is gone, I can dilute the concentrate in 1 gallon
of water, and make 2 gallons of 50% dexcool and 50% water.

Sorry to hi-jack.. but something I've been meaning to ask..

I've heard good things and bad things about Dex-Cool..

Anyone care to chime in on this.. problem is others have only said "it's bad" , with no real explanation..

It can sludge up if air gets in your lines for to long and their is a acid in it that is bad on plastic but it takes about 100000 miles to effect anything on the older ecotecs they used gaskets on the manifold that got eatin away from It over time. But it can sludge up with air in the line

So should I take the water wetter back or use it
