Me thinks you are checking BP at the plasma center on 23rd.

Or maybe you should spring for a Yellow Pages ad.

Don't put water in your car if you want to keep it for a while.

It's like I tell my kids... only brush the teeth you want to keep.

I did a search and read a couple of the sites.....both mentioned you should have a 50/50 mix of DEXCOOL and distilled water so I guess the answer is yes.....but it should be distilled water.

If you really love your engine you will do a flush and get that **** out of your engine then go back with the green antifreez 50/50 mix

Dex Cool is the debil! I have an '96 Impala SS with Dexcool. After much reading and 2 clogged heater cores, I chemically flushed out my cooling system and filled with the green stuff.

Dexcool sludges up when water and air get into the system. Crap, I tells you, crap!! Get rid of it.

That's a "maybe", an "I don't know' and 2 "debil's". Gotcha.

Yes you can add water
but you will be better off in the long run to flush your cooling system and go back with the green

Does it taste as good as the green does?
