I'm using an Australian-made coolant from Nulon (at "http://www.nulon.com.au") which is supplied in concentrate form and mixed with the appropriate quantity of water to form cooland-fortified water mixture. The local supermarkets sell highly-diluted coolant in 5 litre containers, but they're all around 25 percent of less of coolant in the mixture. Some people seem to believe that the best way to use coolant additives is mix them 1:1 with water - has anyone tried that with Saab 8V or 16V engines in 900's?
