Coolant, concentrate or 50/50

[fender559]

Hello, I have a 1999 Ford Ranger 3L, Flex Fuel. I know the coolant is green but my question do I use the Motorcraft concentrate or the 50/50 mixture?
Thanks
James

Its generally always cheaper to buy it straight and then dilute it yourself.

I have a problem paying for 50% water. I’m perfectly capable of adding water myself. Ideally it should be distilled water. I usually use a universal orange coolant in everything.

If you buy concentrate, you need to dilute it 50% when you put it in. So, whichever is more economical is the better choice. Generally, it's cheaper to buy a gallon of concentrate $13 and a gallon of distilled water $1.50? And you get 2 gallons of usable coolant for $14.50 total. Two gallons of premix $10 each will be $20. The premix costs $5.50 more. Your choice.
