Coolant additive question (VC-8)
Hey guys,
I am going to perform the following coolant flush procedure because my truck was filled with the wrong color coolant and I need to replace the radiator anyways ,https://www.powerstrokehub.com/service/7.3-powerstroke-coolant-flush.html
After a series of distilled water drain/fill/run cycles, there I’ll eventually be distilled water left in the system so to properly maintain a 50/50 mixture of concentrate/water I am going to first add 3.6 gallons of the concentrate straight and then fill with distilled water from there. Starting with the correct concentrate first will ensure 50/50 by adding water from there. My question is around the additive. Looks like the additive is calling for 4oz per gallon of system capacity so that’s 32 oz or two of the pint bottles. Depending on the order I add that to the system, won’t that account for 32 oz less water?
Is that a problem?

so the 32oz of necessary additive comes out of the concentrate 50% (32oz less concentrate). Does that sound right?
