Re: Froozen Antifreeze
Ha ha. Four days of cold (which wasnt outlandish at all when I was a kid) doesnt negate the fact that the entire rest of the winter has been freakishly warm...
Its pretty cold here too, around -15 tonight. Its supposed to start looking up tomorrow they said on the news though, maybe I will be able to go to all my classes this week.
Also, yeah, 50/50 is pretty much the optimum mixture. I think actually like 57 coolant/ 43 water is optimum or something like that, but you dont gain hardly anything going down that far. I dont know what was going on here, but it sounds to me like it got cold and as it froze it expanded into the over flow tank, then the over flow tank didnt get heated enough and left the rest of the system in need of coolant. I doubt anything serious is going on except that you need some new coolant. If it had frozen, it would have blown a freeze plug or if it cracked the block, it wouldnt have made it far at all. See if you cant leave it in a friends, neighbors, or parents heated garage overnight, drain the coolant, and put some good shit in.
EDIT: Damn you Garrett!
