So look this stuff up before you just say things on the internet.
Edit: I'm finding conflicting information of the freezing point of ethylene glycol.
Propylene glycol, which is non toxic and used for winterizing watercraft, freezes around -59ºc and is a much better antifreeze additive.

? thats what i want to know not the properties,not how it reacts in -59* wheather...but anyway i have never had any problems (as stated above 10 times) with running straight antifreeze as i have done for years... everyone has their opinion butas for me until something happens i will stick with what i have exprienced...

its supposed to be mixed for a reason
im not sure if its from too much antifreeze but ive seen a fair amount of corrosion on aluminum parts that come into contact with it, and id wager it was from an improper ratio/not enough water
