This thread almost made it one year without being waken...LOL.....yep, you can buy premixed or full strength.....but the premix costs more in the long run...
You could always switch over to Evans Waterless coolant... It's a bit pricey up front but you never have to flush and replace it ever again, no more worries about high pressure caps, and best of all... No more corrosion. I highly recommend the stuff as I use it in my 2012 srt8 charger. Scared the crap out of one of the mechanics at the dealership when I popped the top after a 2 hour road trip lol... Popped like a snappel drink lid. I did it just to prove a safety point of using the stuff when he asked me what it was that I replaced the oem pink HOAT crap with. It's rated to 500K miles but honestly the techs at evans said its more like 1 Million miles. The only down side to this stuff is that you really need to flush the system like 4 times if you use the pink coolant, and 2-3 if you use off the shelf coolant. Contamination of this stuff is not cheap. So flush it out, drain the block, and blow out the pump and everything else to get it as dry as possible... You can use the prep fluid they make to help with the final flush... Just remember no more than 3% water or you contaminate the coolant and then you paid all the money for nothing... I took mine to a shop that did the flush and sold me the coolant at the same time.... 4 hours of work and 4 gallons of coolant, 2 gallons of prep fluid... All for just under $500 Expensive upfront... But I will never need to worry about coolant issues for the life of my car. Btw this stuff boils at 375 degrees... So you can pretty much kiss catastrophic overheating goodbye and hot spotting in the block as well. If you have questions feel free to MSG me as I've been using the stuff for a while now and I am always happy to share As for BND's coolant... It still uses water... Although less corrosive than store and oem... I went with waterless because you don't have to ever mess with it again unless u get a leak and if installed correctly with no contamination it is 100% non corrosive. That thick white stuff is sodium deposits... Basically All oem and off the shelf use sodium and when u add that to water you basically made salt water, then if you don't pay attention to proper fill levels and or mixing then you are basically putting in crap that will eat away at the engine block, radiator, heater core, and pump. Also that oem/off the shelf stuff has to be flushed because eventually the anti corrosive ingredients are no longer there.... Waterless doesn't need those ingredients as its not corrosive in the first place. I am not asking anyone to take my word for anything. You all have access to google... Feel free to do the research for yourself. www.evanscoolant.com If you email support... Tom will probably be the tech to respond. Don't order direct as the prices are higher plus shipping costs... If there is a local dealer he will be more than happy to assist you in finding one. He's a great guy... But if you ask a long question include a phone number because he will more than likely end up calling you to answer the question Once again if you got questions feel free to contact me as well. Take care!
