I'm not sure of your location so it will be different depending on what your winter temp is. Find out what the lowest temp is going to be there, mix the coolant acordingly. I use water wetter with my coolant and fill the rest with distilled water. there is another thing called blue ice that is a no brainer as far as mixing. up to you which way you go.
