just flushed radiator and added an inline cooler

[axlracing]

the antifreeze i used is GM DEX-COOL approved Prestone the red stuff becaues the flued that was in the bike was red to start with. I have a well for water and mixed it 50/50 after i did it i thought maybe i should have used distilled water do you think this will be ok or should i get it out of there and eather buy a 50/50 premix or buy some distilled water thanks axl.

If your well water is generally soft, like it is where i am, id run it.

[axlracing]

i have no idea? could be soft could ce hard? LoL

you're not supposed to mix Dex-Cool with water, you run it straight out of the bottle.

 

Well water is not good to mix with coolant anyways, it contains lots of minerals and can leave deposits in your coolant system. Distilled water only.

where are you getting this info?

you can get the dexcool (2) ways from my experience....

you can get it ready to pour in (50/50 antifreeze and water)

and you can get it undiluted.

Before I do what I do now, I was an auto tech for about 9 years. I have never heard not to mix DexCool with water. As a matter of fact, the GM schools that I have went to tells you to mix it. And yes, the back of the bottle tells you to mix and how much to mix. Depending on your climate, depends on how much water you mix. 50/50 should be good, unless you live in a sub-zero climate.

I say run it.

you have the same stuff in your bike that i just put in my truck.

[axlracing]

well i am going to go get a gallon of distiled water but im still not shure with all these comments if i should mix it 50/50 or run strait dex-cool approved prestone ???

[IrideA250R]

I've never seen where it said to mix 50/50 Dex cool and distilled water, but it's possible I guess. I just went out in the garage and read the back of my bottle of Prestone Dex cool, and it says to run it straight. I do have a bottle of 50/50 antifreeze and water (ethylene glycol) for the Banshee and YFZ.

Your not suppose to mix Dex Cool with any other type of antifreeze.

im not mixing it with any other antifreeze the quad has been flushed i need to know weather or not to mix it with water no where on my bottle does it say anything about running it strait but it does say about mixing it with water no less than 50% andd not more than 70% but some of these guys on here are saying to run it strait. So i draind the dex-cool mixed with well water and replaced it with dex-cool and distilled water 50/50 so thats where its going to stay untill we get to the bottom of this. I dont really want to go buy green preston right now because i already have the dex-cool in it and i dont want it to mix incase i dont get it all out thanks.
