[AT] Antifreeze question

[John Kennedy]

Antifreeze without water usless, it is made to work with a combination of 
water and antifreeze. Most of th stuff we buy down here is max at 50/50 some 
that it sold in real cold climates can use less water to get down to -70.  
Using it straight from the bottle will only harm your engine as it no 
abillity to protect it much below 32 deg. and will even cause overheating as 
Will said.

However you may be buying the 50/50 mix that is sold now so people don't 
have to guess as to how much water to antifreeze they need.
