Just like pork cracklins and beer coolies, if it's got nascar on it, it has to be good.

I'd highly recommend sticking to the green stuff.

its most likely 60 water 40 coolant. depending where you are, that might not fly. you cant allow the coolant in the system to freeze. might wanta stick with the basic 50/50 mixture

I can ask my uncle what they use if you're that worried... he's the head Engineer of DEI. I've got a strange feeling he'd know what's up (in the past he's told me that 50/50 is good... though with demineralized water the more water you can get the better since it transfers heat quiet nicely... just *really* need the coolant for those climates that freeze a lot...) I can double check with him if needed, since I've been known to be wrong (though rarely) in the past....

I believe that if you're dumb enough to live somewhere that gets below -10 deg F, you deserve to have a cracked radiator. **** the cold.
