Default How to mix coolant/water ratio?

how do you measure how much coolant and water to mix? probably going to run a little more water % than the usual 50/50 mix.

just take an empty bottle and pour half coolant and half water. if you want more water then pour less coolant into bottle and add more water.

And people are sitting here saying that buying premix is not worth it... for me, 10 dollars is worth saving all this time wondering how much water/coolant should be mixed. The thread before this one that the OP created was when i was at work over 7+ hours ago.

Do yourself a favor, work an half hour of OT this week and make up for the $10 you are going to spend on some 50/50 Prestone or Peak coolant.

Hahaha... Oil Change in the next 10mins FTW!!! Its not hard at all to mix coolant/water, but for those of us who are lazy and for those who can't measure, 50/50 is a good alternative. You will spend a total of 7 minutes between locating it in the auto store and going through the process to fill up your radiator and not 7 hours asking, which coolant is better and how the f*ck to mix it. Start a donation to buy a helms manual and a measure cup of some sorts

It's hard to imagine such a concept:

at one time, you had to learn how to mix antifreeze with water.
at one time, you had to learn how to do an oil change.

lol at you for being such a "SMART GUY"
