you mean people actually measure the ratio of coolant to water? :lol:

i just chuck in a rough mix, as long as you're not too strong (can actually decrease boiling point i think) you should be OK.

i wouldnt buy too much into that toyota coolant ad, it screams advertising BS to me.

Thats the long life stuff, it's ok, the super long life is what you want though, good for 150,000km or 10 years, just put it in and forget it.

Comes pre mixed and every thing, so you can't stuff it up, just don't mix it with other types of coolant as it doesn't react well.
