If you have a friend or relative at NAPA you can get their heavy duty diesel anti freeze for around 13 dollars .This you mix 50/50 with distilled water ,colored red.If you don't have a friend or relative at NAPA you may pay as much 18.00 a gal as I did a few weeks back at the NAPA store in Kitty Hawk N C

When buying antifreeze check the seal on the 1 gallon bottles. I got mine home from Napa and found that 5 out of 8 were broken already and the top just unscrewed and the silver thing had been opened and 1/3 had been poured out already. I took it back and the manager looked at it and I don't think they believe me at first and then he went to the rack and checked some more and found 5 more. They replace them for me. Its a big commercial store and truckers are in there all the time and you see them outside doing stuff the their trucks so his guess was someone was filling their truck with antifreeze for free. :'(

That is the same kind of person that would go into the shoe section of a big store, try on boots and keep them on, then put their old boots in the box and put it back on the shelf. The NAPA situation might have been a store employee who had access to the antifreeze in the storeroom. It might be suspicious for someone to be returning jugs of antifreeze in that quantity.  :'(
