Antifreeze question
Posted on 3/3/15 at 9:58 pm

This weekend my engine got hot, pulled over, had to fill up my radiator with just water. All good now.
Supposed to be a low of 30 Thursday night. I'm assuming there's a least a little anntifreeze in the there. Should I do a complete flush or am I good?
I know tr freezing point of water obviously
just figured there might be some insulation effect in there

It not just the temp. It's how long it's that temp.

Do you have any experience replacing freeze plugs?

I would leave a light bulb on under the hood just to be safe...just get a cheap trouble light from the wal marks and lay it under there for the night....
you need a good bit of antifreeze in there, so I would drain some water out and add a gallon or so when you get a chance. you can buy an antifreeze tester from autozone for about $5...

You'll be fine, but if you put tap water in it, you probably should flush soon

You'll be fine. It won't freeze with it only dropping to 30 for a few hours.

Yea the light bulb is probably a good idea.
Make sure it's a normal incandescent bulb and not one of those fluorescent things.

50/50 is good to -34F. Unless you put in a lot of water you are ok.
