[QUOTE="Snoopy49, post: 15593139, member: 138649"] 1. Recommended coolant concentration is 48/52 to 50/50 (freeze protection -34°C (-30°F) and -37°C (-34°F)) engine coolant to distilled water. 2. For extremely cold climates (less than -37°C (-34°F): It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%. NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%. [B] Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40 for cold weather areas.[/B] A coolant concentration of 60% provides freeze point protection down to -50°C (-58°F). Engine coolant concentration above 60% will decrease the overheat protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may damage the engine. 3. For extremely hot climates: It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration above 40%. NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%. [B]Minimum coolant concentration is 40/60 for warm weather areas.[/B] A coolant concentration of 40% provides freeze point protection down to -34°C (-30°F). Engine coolant concentration below 40% will decrease the corrosion and freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may damage the engine. 4. Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 48/52 to 50/50 (freeze protection -34°C (-30°F) and -37°C (-34°F)) mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system and engine protection.
