When there are coolant leaks or loss of coolant, is when the coolant will start to dilute too much, when distilled water only is added.
Thanks for all that. So if I add distilled water and assuming that there is the right amount of concentrate, would the reservoir then fill with coloured coolant? On my service sheet it says FOR132 for the AntiFreeze - 1 litre. Would that be a green or yellow colour?
