Ok....here goes my last comments as to the mixture rate:
(And you can find these rating on ANY Coolant bottle. The 40/60 is from a
very old Prestone bottle)
The mixture ratio is Coolant/Water
40/60 Mixture: -18 -> 245
50/50 Mixture: -34 -> 265
60/40 Mixture: -62 -> 270
70/30 Mixture: -84 -> +275
The reasoning for running only 30% coolant is because of the average area
doesn't get below 0 degrees. In the areas that do, you should adjust the
ratio accordingly. And...if you want to run 70% coolant to protect your
engine from getting about 275 degrees...well, it's your engine. (We all
know what happens when they overheat.)
