For years I have purchased full strength anti freeze by the gallon and pre mixed it with a gallon of distilled water from the
grocery store. That's what I add to radiators. I never add water alone, so I don't check radiators. I've been buying the gold/yellow
add to any color coolant lately and mixing it the same. I happened to check the mix today. The best I can get is between minus
10 and 20. The old green mix tests minus 34 just like the jug says. Pink coolant in my pickup as it came from the factory tests
just like the yellow mixture. Do we need a different tester for this newer stuff? And I tested the neighbors' purchased pre
diluted coolant, and get the same minus 10 to 20 reading.
