    Fill the radiators first, and then fill the overflow tank to a level between the low and high mark.

    Yes you want a little coolant in the overflow tank. Just in case you ever have an boil over the hot coolant won't melt the container.:thumbsup:

    +1 above. I have used 50/50 Prestone and distilled water with no problems.

    Probably a sucker, but I like Engine Ice. Somewhat "green" and no overheating problems. Expensive, but convenient to use as it comes premixed.

    How much did you pay for the engine ICE? Did you have to mix it, or is it ready to just dump in?

    Is water wetter the same stuff?

    Engine Ice does not need any mixture for use; just pour it in straight from the bottle. Not cheap! Around $18-20 for the small jug that I use.

    Not the same stuff as water wetter. Water wetter is not by itself an anti-freeze.
