changing coolant?

can you use the prestone 50/50 pre mix for the entire thing. also do you fill it from the rad correct. not the overflow. and can u take the used stuff to a gas station for disposal

yes 50/50 is good... fill it from the filler tube on the rad, and as far as disposing of it... just make sure dogs and cats dont get into it....

Why waste the extra money on 50/50 mix, when you have as much water as you need for free?
