Premix and Store Coolant for Future Use

[barlowc]

Can you premix coolant with distilled water and store it for future use? I have about one-fifth of a gallon left and would like to premix it so that I don't have to store it and a separate bottle of distilled water. I read somewhere not to do that but can't think of why it would be bad or wrong to do so. In case it matters, the coolant I have is Prestone orange 5/150 extended life.

I don't see why not. I mean they sell pre-diluted coolant.

Of course you can. Just be cautious and label your container so you don't forget that you've previously diluted your mixture.

And don't drink the forbidden Mountain Dew.
