Gold coolant is supposedly good for 100,000 miles but I changed mine out at 75,000. I drained all that I could from the petcock and then added water till full, ran engine, drained again, repeated this process 3 times until liqiud looked clear comming out. Then added 4 new gallons of the gold and filled the rest with water. Hense the 8 gallon capacity and should be close to a 50/50 mix.
