You keep adding a full strength quart a week and not long before the strength reading will not be the 35 but 40 or 45. And if you could actually see level in a jug when it is half full to add water it would not be so bad but when you cannot see thru the plastic to tell level in jug how do you know you are getting a 50-50 mix or a 35-63 mix ot a 65-35 mix. Need to have a clear mixing container with levels acruatly marked to hold a gallon jug of antifreeze and then a gallon jug of water and to use the jug you just poored out of the antifreeze you do not know how full to fill the jug because you do not know what the level was with the antifreeze in it, could be you get 5 quarts of water in and think you are getting a 50-50 mix. And the time and agrivation to mix is worth bore than the bit of cost difference. I ysed to do the trying to mix and found way too many problems trying to do that. You think radiator is supposed to hold 2 gallon so you put in 1 gallon of antifreeze and go to put in the gallon of water and radiator is overflowing with a half gallon of water, you do not have the mix you want. Now if you are in an area that requires a 50 below mix and only a 35 below is avaible then yes it is worth the hastle of doing the mixing but not if you are in the area that 35 below like all premixes are made for and that includes the areas that never get below 50 above it does not pay to do the mixing yourself. You mix what the book calles for and you are either short or have too much and still need to store the extra you have mixed and then someone elso comes along and sees your home mixed thinking it is still full strength and they do the mixing and it is not strong enough and you have a frozen up radiator how does that gain you anything. And for the time to do the mix as against the premix if you figure any time to do the mixing the full strength is actually costing you more.
