No need for that.

A 50/50 mix works just fine. (Personally, I've never used more than
30/70 in any of my vehicles...no problems in the summer or
winter...that's 30% coolant). The coolant isn't what helps cool the
engine anyway...it's there to change the freezing and boiling points of
the water and to help keep the cooling system free from corrosion.

Need to flush my rad. Got Prestone long life. It recomends a 70-30 mix.
Should I go that high?
