Default It's been 2.5 years since my S4 has been exposed to freezing temperatures with a cold engine.

I guess I should probably run at least 90% straight H<sub>2</sub>O.

Default Yep...I would, if i lived down south....

However, I live in NJ...Morning temps are in 30's by noon its 60's and by 4pm the temps hit 85. In my case i gotta keep some G12 in the system for that cold day.

Default

So, the easiest thing would be to add some RedLine WaterWetter to the coolant tank?
