I would also stay away from the premix stuff, this is not a standard engine that can do with some medium quality coolant imo.


You realize you are using premix, right?

I see what u mean, the 50/50 part is not on the drum, just says Maxlife AF concentrate.
It tells u the mixing table on the drum for the freeze protection, and from there you can mix accordingly.

The reason for me to use this one as it gives very good protection for aluminium engine blocks as the premixes are for both aluminium and cast steel engines.

Valvoline sells a premix Maxlife (some of their containers actually say 50/50), so I can see where saywat? was coming from.

That's what confused me with the 50/50, then i checked and found both versions and i've seen only the one i used in the local shop.

Unfortunatly saywhat? is not capable of saying things like that and can only comment in a negative way as seen in his immature posts.

I am just trying to help someone out here with a question and advise him, not asking meaningless and immature reactions of bored people who think the've seen it all.
