Adding coolant.
Need to add a little coolant to my truck. I know its motorcraft gold, so do i just get a gallon of it and top it off? I know they sell it in concentrate and stuff so I just wasn't sure thanks.

The 50/50 mix would be perfect for a top off.

Either or. I always just buy it and then mix it because it's a bit cheaper

If I was just going to mix it, how much of each do I add to my degas bottle?

50/50 mix with distilled water. Zerex G-05 is the same coolant and can be bought concentrated or 50/50.

I have one bottle of the pre mixed that's empty now. I just add half of the concentrate and half water to the empty bottle.
