As far as the 15 lb cap, I was merely quoting what it said on my bottle of antifreeze, I,m not even sure how many lbs my cap is, nor am I sure of what the difference is.

50/50 is cheap and easier. Did you start the project yet?

Not yet, gotta study for a test, as soon as I'm done I'll get distilled water and the coolant and get started :headbang:
