I use the new stuff that will mix with ether kind .The green stuff.
50/50 pre-mix is a rip off. What's wrong with a gallon of concentrate , mixed with a gallon of water ? JMO
Depends on what your system is. Soldered copper radiator and heater cores will do best with 'conventional' anti-freeze. By 'conventional' I mean the traditional green with inorganic inhibitors. Hybrid inorganic acid technology (HOAT), often green-yellow, is compatible but generally not as good in protecting solder. They also take longer to become effective in making a corrosion resistant barrier.What brand/type of antifreeze is recommended these days?
I used the green with well water for the Duster. I did change antifreeze in a my newer Mopars last year that use G-05. I did use distilled as recommended in them.some use distilled water.
My grand mother had a dairy, the water was so hard down there u could almost walk on it. I use tap water here, which is pretty good water, but I have double filters anyway.There is one small advantage, and I'm not saying this makes the price justified...........and that is "some places" the tap water is SO bad you really should not use it in a cooling system. My years in the Navy in San Diego comes to mind.......
I just use the 50/50 Preston mix. No issue here in North GA. And gives some corrosion protection and lowers boiling temp.
Does Evans waterless coolant offer freeze protection?
I have just learned that Evans waterless coolant is now accepted in NHRA competition instead of plain water . this is a hugh benefit to folks who have street driven race cars as well as dedicated race cars that spent a lot of down time . A big bene to seasonal vehicles as well .

----COST !!!!!!!!!!Cool. I use Evans. No reason not to.
-- Yep !! -- Near $50 per gallon, plus the PITA of prep, at Around $25 per gallon. --- And -- Who cares about boiling at 375 degrees. Your motor will cook long before that. -- Who needs minus 40 degree protection ? -- Zero pressure can mask leak problems, warped heads etc. -- Antifreeze with 50% water (minus 34 degree protection) and a bottle of water pump lube does the job quite well.------COST !!!!!!!!!! --
I think I bought 50/50 twice. First time I didn't realize there was such a thing and grabbed it by mistake. Other time for convenience while traveling on vacation.Why use 50/50 mix??? Do you like paying $6 per gallon for water????
Buy it straight and mix it 50/50 yourself and you will save $$$$...
How much would two gallons of 50/50 mix cost compared to one gallon of straight antifreeze???? They will both make the same amount when you mix the straight one with water yourself...
