For California, use only distilled water without coolant as you have a
non-sealed system. I recently heard of a source of stainless steel freeze
plugs, but the address eludes me.
I disagree with the writer that suggests a 50/50 mix of antifreeze. That is
fine for winter driving, but in 85+F. weather, you may boil over as the
antifreeze lowers the boiling point as well as lowering the freezing point
(which is irrelevant here). I'd like to see more discussion on the topic of
coolants.
