I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd say it was priced wrong! Because I don't work on my own cars since the late seventies, (when children came) except for the model A. The garages always took care of the antifeeze. I like keeping the stuff in to keep the rust out. I remember always using one gallon to the rest water, I was always good in the -30s. To purchase it 50-50 seems ludicuis unless your buying two gallons....just my opinion.

Come on Jim it's in the low 70s right now.........in my living room.

Is that going to be true tonight and tomorrow night, Dusty? LOL!

Here in Norcross, we'll be seeing 11 and 12 degree lows for the next two days.

It's so easy to drain my A, that's what I do...

Dusty · 02-18-2015, 06:30 PM

Well to be honest I was out feeding the horses and about froze my a$$ off. Over all though it's been nice compared to WV.

I have about 3 gallons of Prestone 50-50 straight out of the container and 0 water in the Cab. Label says 50-50 good to -34.

What, me worry?

Here tomorrow morning, -5 natural temp with a windchill of -20 to -22. I have about a 60/40 mixture, 40 being the water.

Tom Cavallaro · 02-19-2015, 06:04 PM

oldwoodsman, I bought the tester, says danger of freezing .....drained thre quarters of a gallon out and replaced it with straight stuff....also showed them the receipt, and the gave me a gallon of the peak! Now that's an apology !!!

bikejunk · 02-19-2015, 06:46 PM

do an experiment put some 50/50 in a bucket -and even add some water put it in an unheated place and watch what happens

ModelAMike1930 · 02-19-2015, 07:16 PM

I get my antifreeze from Menards when its on sale. I think my last purchase of 50/50 cost me $6.00.

I have a bucket of "50/50 antifreeze" sitting in my driveway (outside). It has obviously been watered down 'cause it will get slushy on top when it reaches minus 5°
