Re: Coolant
Judging by your location. Go out and buy some
Mix with antifreeze and top up

Re: Coolant
use antifreeze; if pre-mixed, then just add, if concentrated, then follow the insructions on the bottle.
Antifreeze, aswell as not freezing until well below 0, will also have a higher boiling point and normal water  Additionally, it will help prevent corrosion inside the cooling system

Re: Coolant
Antifreeze is normally 50-50 with distilled water.
If you look at the premixed stuff most of it is that concentration. Halfords sell the pre-mix stuff |
