You can buy pre-mixed coolant at any auto store as well. You'll need 8.5 litres.

yeah ive used that before, its probably cheaper to just buy the concentrated stuff and mix it yourself, especially if your using alot of it. Just wanted to make sure the g35 were 50/50.

does anyone know about the fuel filter, i heard somewhere its in the gas tank, is this true?

Definately 50/50. It's the 50% water that cools your engine. Definately use distilled water as well since tap water has impurities.

Make sure you use the special flushing equipment needed to do the job so you don't spread poisons around and get in trouble with the authorities too. It's illegal to just dump antifreeze down the storm drains, or what have you.

If you change annually you can use less AF concentration in Summer and more in winter [sufficient for temperature].

In Summer a 20% AF might be acceptable in heat is a problem.

Don't confuse boil over after shut down with running temperature.
