- Last fall I checked my coolant with an old Prestone hydrometer. I was puzzled by the poor reading, because I knew I had mixed it for maximum freeze, 50/50. Later I happened to notice that the contain

- Yeh, you're right, and max is down to -84deg F. I'm in a little more temperate clime, and -34 F (50/50) would work for me. I use 75/25 and a little water wetter, but my LBC's live inside in the winte

- Are we sure about the "old" values? I checked my circa 1974 Prestone hydrometer and found this: "(-34F) 50% concentration recommended (-37C)" written beside the calibrations. A gallon of Zerex bought

- Yes. EG only has about half the heat transfer ability of plain water. So a 50-50 mix knocks 25% right off the top of your potential cooling capacity. Hence the reason why those of us in the States,
