[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 101117, member: 2510"] A 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze not only provides freeze protection, but boilover protection as well. There should be a chart on the back of the AF jug that lists the boil/freeze values at different concentrations. Also, there is the additive package that prevents corrosion and lubricates the waterpump, so if you have isolated and fixed all leaks, then drain the water and flush a few times if it's really dirty. Fill with AF mix and verify that the thermostat is opening by watching for water flow in the radiator when it warms up enough to open. If it has an overflow recovery tank, fill the radiator to the top and the overflow to the correct level. What you might consider if you're still worried about overheating is a product called "Water Wetter" from Redline. It's a surfactant that allows the coolant to gather more heat from inside the engine, especially if it has scale buildup. [/QUOTE]
