Prestone® Quick Fill

Prestone Quick Fill? 50/50 Prediluted Antifreeze/Coolant features the precise factory-fill blend used by major auto manufacturers. 50% antifreeze concentrate for temperature and corrosion protection. 50% specially demineralized water for vital heat transfer. Adding antifreeze/coolant or water along or in varied amounts can quickly alter your protection. Prestone Quick Fill? helps maintain this original fill blend. No matter where, when or how often you top off your cooling system.



So, they charge you a dollar less to dilute it 50% with water???

Of course, instead of buying a whole gallon of antifreeze, you buy a half gallon + cheap cheap water for close to the same price. Prestone wins!

See, the secret is, antifreeze and water cost almost the same to sell, so the rest is all profit. Since they can't cut into the profit, they can't halve the price....

It's specially demineralized. Probably some sort of super secret proprietary process.

I buy it because when I am on the trail, chances are there will not be a distilled water store that happened to setup shop 15 miles from the nearest road. ;)

the thing that bugs me, the regular stuff is already premixed 50/50.. so what's the big diff between the two... both are 50/50... and both are coolant..

Um, regular anti-freeze is NOT premixed at 50/50.
