Take a look on the antifreeze jug. There should be a table or graph whihc
gives you the temperature to which protected per percentage water/antifreeze.
Or go to an auto parts store and pick up a tester. Simple to use and will
tell you what your actual mixture is good for.
Remember that water is a better coolant than antifreeze so adjust the mixture
accordingly. You don't need protection down to 100degrees below zero, so pick
a temperature with which you feel comfortable and which will allow you the
most water in the mix.
Also suggest you get some "Water wetter" and add that to the mix. (hi, Jack).
Hope this helps. Cheers.
