ClayAiken Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 I have never heard of engine ice being a bad coolant to use. Im not positive if it can be used below freezing however. I have been recommended it numerous times and going to grab some. Quote

What are the benefits of running 50/50 vs straight? Quote
toytech Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Ive heard this before my several people. What are the benefits of running 50/50 vs straight? strait coolant does not cool as good, it doesn't transfer the heat as good it is designed to mix. Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 I run 50/50 in the DMs, my mowers and my trucks. Quote
sheerider1026 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 50/50 and i add redline water wetter Quote
tdod101 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Just so ya know. Don't put to much thought into it. All anti freeze does is not let the water freeze. It's the water that cools your engine. You can run straight water in te summer time if you wanted. Keep it simple dude Quote
