Radiator Question
 

True or false

When you flush the entire cooling system and replace it with new antifreeze if you only put in antifreeze( without deluding it with water) you have decreased )the efficiency of cooling , freezing ,and lubercation ability ??

Unmixed antifreeze can freeze.

50/50 is what you want.

Hey Guys' I am sure #5 answers correctly about freezing ability but can we answer the effeciency of cooling and lubrication???, I would suspect a decrease in the cooling effeciency of the cooling system as a whole and no change to lubrication as hpoefully w/pump bearing ain't got water or antifreeze in them.
Opinions, opinions though
:rolleyes:
