Yes, you CAN run the engine with pure antifreeze, but plain water is a better
coolant than antifreeze. It removes more heat from the engine. You should
never use more than a 50/50 mix in a car engine. If your area is not prone
to freezing, you can simply use plain water and Water Wetter from Red Line.
That will cool the engine very well and protect it from corrosion.
