different brands of coolant are different concentrates, the most common is that for 1 part coolant you need 2 parts water (on comodores it's 1 to 1 ratio but).
I'm seen a Tecktoloy (I can't remember how the bradn is spelt) one that's a 500ml bottle and makes 10L's or something extreme like that but! in other words, read the label on the bottle and it shouuld tell you! I think thee falcoooon system is around 14litres, i usually tip thee entire 5 L bottlle in and then just add water till full. Or you can buy pre-mixed, and jjust aadd it till it's fulll. I use deminerised waterr, it's onlyy like $2.00 for 5L. So I'd grab two of them so that you know you have enough. Perosnally I run the Repco Colour Changing Coolant (it's a purple/piink colour and changes to yellow when it's old/needss to be changed). |

As long as the coolant has corrosion inhibiters distilled water isnt necessary.
Although if your tap water is particulary 'dirty' then it would be a good idea.

You have to remove the bottom splash shield to get to it, but its there... |

Follow the instructions on the bottle. If you make it too strong some coolants can ruin rubber seals. If too weak, will be ineffective.
