Hey neighbor.

If you are buying that fluid where you live, it is good to 0C/ 32F. In other words it is NOT 'antifreeze type'.

Interestingly the state of CA restricts this by county. As I recall, you cannot buy it in Folsom. Not sure about Cameron Park. But YES at the Napa in Shingle Springs and elevations above that point (Placerville, etc).

So look at your bottle- the 0/32 stuff is real misleading- it SOUNDS like it is antifreeze type, with text like: "Good to 32F". But it really isnt.

Just buy a jug of the good stuff, dump it in, let it mix- flush the lines and you should be good.
