You don't want to use straight coolant either. Water is the best coolant.
If your area is prone to getting below freezing in the winter, use no more
than a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water. If you NEVER get below freezing,
use plain old water and a bottle of Red Line Water-Wetter.
I'm sure there'll be no debate about this either, except for "We Tight" Frank
C. who uses dish detergent in place of the Water-Wetter. In any case, drain,
flush and refill once a year.
