dexcool is already mixed 50/50, just pour it straight from the bottle. Or just put water in it, its almost summer so you dont haev to worry about it freezing.

Only if you buy the premix stuff. They still sell the the straight stuff. Make sure you read the bottle.

If you don't have premix, mix it 50/50 with DISTILLED water, not tapwater.

Just buy the Prestone Dexcool 50/50 premix and be done. A few extra bucks is worth not having to mix **** for me. Pour and go, keep the rest in the garage for a cloudy day!

dexcool/water 50/50 mix......no, not all dexcool is already mixed....but you can buy a mix at autozone, advance, etc.

And straight water does have better cooling properties....however, in cold temps it will freeze (below 32 degrees) and it will cause rust and stuff inside the system.......

you can get dexcool premixed or not mixed, if you get it not mixed its just a 50/50 with regular tap water
