How is the proportion of antifreeze to water content usually checked?
It's not. When you replace it or add to it, make your best guess at 50 to70% antifreeze. It helps to add 1/3 water to an empty antifreeze jug & fill up with prestone. Then you have a good mix to use as needed. FYI: The antifreeze properties do not diminish with time, the rust inhibitors do. Replace it as recommended to prevent costlier repairs. CJ.
Do you need distilled water in antifreeze?
No. you should always use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. Water, even distilled causes rust. Most headgaskets are made of thin metal. The water will rust around the water ports and cause the gaskets to leak. The replacement of a head gasket or gaskets will run several hundred dollars and worst casue serious engine damage can result. Antifreeze has additives that help to lube the water pump, inhibitors to keep rust in check and the 50/50 mixture will actually keep your engine running cooler.
