Just want to make sure the anti corrosion properties are good with your mix. If you mess with the drain plug by the starter I would disconnect the batteries so you don't get a 4th of July show. Don't ask how I know.
It should be easy to tell if it's the mix. On the front label it should say it's mixed and also says not to add water.

No, purified water is typically water pushed through a filter. Distilled water is water that has been boiled and then re-condensed in a clean container, much better at getting impurities out and will be far less likely to leave deposits.

It's a joke, not a tribute.
There was a thread recently where the guy got made fun of (again) and some pictures were photoshopped.

If I could use ELC in my E99 I'd do it in a second. I was having to maintain that Ford additive stuff every six months or so. I can't complain too much, the Fleet Charge I use now has been good, usually lasts for a year before needing charging, but I flush it yearly anyway.

Add it when the indicator strips say to unless the directions have changed since last I knew.
Or just use an ELC and you'll never have to touch it again. That's what I opted for. Running Caterpillar ELC in mine.

I check it monthly, but it was usually around the 6 month mark mine would need charging according to the test strips I got from International.

Would you please spell it out a little more clearly and specifically.
If "doush" is a word, what does it mean?
