[C320-list] Engine anti-freeze

[tharrison at innovations-plus.com]

Just changed out the green antifreeze . Just added a flush and will drain that out tomorrow.  Then ready to put in dexcool long life (GM Dealers). 

I did not purchase the 50/50 mix. Do you have to add water to the Dexcool ? If so why?  Water freezes up here.
