Yup. 50/50 will protect down to -34C. You can go lower if required with a stronger brew. 1978 Laverda Jota. Stolen...

Is it a mix/dilute or use straight from bottle ?

I always understood 'coolant' to be a mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. If it's 'concentrated' coolant, what are you supposed to dilute it with? What will they be selling next, dehydrated water? Whistle Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

OAT coolant just ordered two 5ltr concentrated and will mix it myself with de-ironised water, because the water here is hard.

The above should make 20ltrs if it's mixed 50% -50% not completely sure but we only need the OAT to be 33% in our cars in this country anyone know different.
