personally i would get three gallons of anti freeze and a five gallon pail add two gallons of water mix >then "slowly" fill the rad checking for leaks ect allow some time for air to escape the top up again > start the beast start adding again as its running check the temperature gauge often > you could have "air lock " and over heat > then after running for 10 minutes stop the engine allow more air to escape again > check the OIL for any possible ANTI FREEZE comtamination if no leaks and oil is clear restart fill as neccassary run for twenty minutes fill install rad cap check for leaks and CHECK the TEMPERATURE guage often > any antfreeze you dont use mark the jugs as MIXED 3 to 2 and use for top up later ~ J
