Question Pentosin Coolant

K i went to pick some up i got the red cap( which is the pink liquid)which alot a people said was the correct one for our cars.
I was just wondering if its the right one cause there is like an Nf, SF, and ++.
the one i bought is the SF. and i was reading over the lable says 50/50. so do i go 50/50 with coolant and water when im putting it in. thanks.

They are all mixable if its G12. The mix is 50/50 what i do is pour half the can into the resivior, then fill the rest of it with water. The system should only hold 1 gallon.

Yep, half a gallon of water and G12 should do it. Thats if you drained it.

It should say one the bottle one way or the other, 50/50 or pre-mixed, though i'm pretty sure they don't sell G12 pre-mixed.
