However note that:

The specific heat capacity of ethylene glycol based water solutions are less
than the specific heat capacity of clean water. For a heat transfer system
(radiator) with ethylene glycol the circulated volume must be increased
compared to a system with clean water.
In a 50% solution with operational temperatures above 36 oF the specific heat
capacity is decreased approximately 20%. The reduced heat capacity must be
compensated by circulating more fluid.

Just sayin'  :)
