Usually 50/50, unless it gets REALLY cold (below -25 F where you live).
Most antifreeze jugs have mix / temp charts right on them.

Maybe, depending on whether there's any aluminum in your cooling system.

Don't know about that. Read label.  Can it be used with pure water only ?
Does it still `work' with glycol (typical, Prestone-type) or the newer
`environmentally friendly' type ?
