I tend to run Prestone unmixed (I mix it myself). I do 50/50 in my radiator and 70/30 for my SC intercooler.

prestone 50/50.... but I buy distilled water and do the ratio myself. They say its safe to run up to 75/25 in aluminum radiators, but .. whatever. lol.

When I used to mix my own I always used distilled water too but now that they sell the 50/50 premix why bother? I'm pretty sure Prestone isnt using murky tap water.

The only reasons I don't buy the premixed is because it's more expensive when you think about it. And I have to mix two different solution ratios.
