Waterless coolant?
I have decided to run waterless coolant in my radiator.
My question is , is any coolant that is not mark 50/50 or premixed waterless? or do they just have less water?
I was a little confused at the auto parts store cause I never ran waterless or even heard about it until I started search for a f350
Thanks in advance

I would recommend always running a 50/50 mix. I forget the explaination, but I think it has to do with the water being a better conductor of heat. the anti-freeze or anti-boil is more to control what the water is not supposed to do i.e freeze or boil. When purchasing anti-freeze, if it doesn't say 50/50 mix, then you'll have to add water. I personally refer to the 50/50 mix as emergency roadside refill.
