I'll also need to get another gallon or two of dexcool for when I change the radiator.


Exactly. I only buy the 50/50 when I'm in a pinch. Like the year I drove to ASS thru Canada with a crack head gasket and combustion gasses pushed coolant out the overflow, on the side of the road, in upstate NY.

Yes. I stopped using tap water a few years ago. Now for every gallon of antifreeze I buy, I buy a gallon of distilled water. It's only 69 cents a gallon
