ripsnot Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 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. In my 250R i just bought the premixed 50/50 version and put it right on in there. I suppose if you got the non diluted version you should mix it 50/50 with distilled water...don't see much of a problem? Quote
2001Stroker Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 From all of my experiences, DexCool does not help cool any better than the regular green antifreeze. The only thing that I know it does is it has elecrolites in it. They help ground sensors that are in the water system. You don't have any, so I wouldn't worry about it. You already have some, so just use it. It says on the bottle to mix it, so mix it. 50/50 is all you need. 70/30 would be for the guys that live in Canada or close to it. 100% would be for artic conditions. Quit worrying so much about it, you ain't going to hurt anything. Quote
