Got ya. Only reason I asked was not to pick the crap out of it, more that I have just flushed and replaced my coolant (30% Ethlene glycol). I was aware of the 50/50 and I guess it makes sense that the FSM would recommend this as you would top it up with distilled water (you would hope) during the coolant life, therefore watering down the mix

Good point, as per carves
