Default 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....

i think you can take used coolant to the parts store just like used oil.

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