So adding 2 gallons of pure coolant will take you up to a 52% mixture. 5.2/4.8 coolant/water.Wild cat, Oxbow and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
It’s not going to matter…. 10% antifreeze concentration will not freeze solid enough to damage anything down to around 0f…. Did a little experiment several years ago when we had a cold snap. If I remember right at around 10 below the top inch or so in the bucket froze into a stiff slurry idk if it would have damaged anything. as mentioned above you really need to get that wet cylinder dried up or your gonna have rust rings in the liner at each piston ring. Might wipe off but most likely will ruin the liner.

I broke down and spent $4 Good to -15. I’ll drain it, as suggested. Also drain the last of the coolant from oil pan. Check oil level start it and let it run for 30 seconds or so. Should be OK sitting a few months?? Might already be rusty?? It’s been sitting 30 days. It’s in the 20’s already up here. I hate it. Every year I run out of time to get things done.
