I've heard of guys down south running 1/3rd coolant and 2/3rds distilled water. I mean, who would run 50/50 if you NEVER see anything below 10 degrees Celsius /50 degreesFahrenheit
straight water is better for heat dissipation but has no anti-corrosion properties. Did you pop a freeze plug or you're a lucky sonofabitch?
