For the second tip, it’s important to remember that you need to use at least distilled water, or even better, de-ionized water to mix your concentrate, you need to factor that into the cost to see if you are really saving money. If you put hose water into your coolant you can get hydrolysis reactions in your cooling channels which can corrode your cooling channels and poke holes in your heater core.
I personally buy the 50/50 because my time is valuable and I prefer to just add it in and not have to worry about the ratio, mixing, and all that BS. I know its more, but i only change it once a year, saving $2 per year is just not worth the extra inconvenience.
@@linuxguy1199 great comment and a lot of people think this way. So pour in half a bottle and then 1/2 gallon water. I mean pretty quick and simple to me. Pour the entire gallon in a bucket and a gallon of water. Now you spend 30 whole seconds and spent 50% less money.
I like your coolant thing. When i was parts sales i tried so hard to convince people to do this. Distilled water is like a dollar. The car could take eight gallons most people would rather buy the 50/50 anyway. Cray

Not any type of water. It has to be distilled water.
