    Dollar bills?







    Must be laundry day.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I have used water from the house (tap) water in the past, never noticed a problem in car cooling systems. Distilled water is better to use because it will reduce the chance of unwanted minerals entering the cooling system.

    And no water whatsoever? You are not supposed to do that. "Working at a shop" you should know that.

    if the shop is a jiffy lube or such, antifreeze is trucked in in 55 gallon drums, pre mixed most of the time. cant f it up that way.

    I'm waiting for him to ask why pure anti-freeze isn't good.

    Fact is, pure ant-freeze has freezes quicker than anti-freeze water mix. Also pure anti-freeze doesn't remove heat as well as a mix does.

    Water is the coolant. Gylcol is the antifreeze. Other fun stuff is the rust inhibitor. In dexcool/prestone all makes, its oat. In g-05, silicates, asian stuff, phosphates.

    Matttthhhhhhh lol

    And yes in chem it works same way.
    1 is in front of everything
    For example: the 2 in h2o is subscript
    H2O + H2O equals 2H2O

    You have two molecules of h2o
    if it would be h2o^2 that would mean you have 2 oxygen.

    Ozarka + Ozarka = 2Ozarka.

    Its already premixed. And I know using unmixed antifreeze is bad.
