    How can I check my coolant mixture?

    Other than draining everything and measuring out a new mixture. I think I have too much coolant in the mix

    You can go to any auto parts store and get a little tester kit for less than 5$

    Suck a little of your hopefully coolant into the tester and it will let you know (normally a bunch of balls that only float at specific mixtures)

      They sell a thing at Walmart that has little balls inside/or one that has indicator arrows and it tells you the strengths .

        It's called a hydrometer:


        And yes, they are very cheap.

            Keeping a proper coolant mixture is vital to your car's health. Antifreeze should be close to a 50 percent mixture, depending on your climate and driving conditions. But how are you supposed to know whether your coolant mixture is right for you and your car? You can test your coolant mixture easily with an inexpensive coolant mixture tester that can be bought at any auto parts store.
