For that reason I didn't dilute the Mannol which was the recommendation anyway. Anyone diluting the same 50/50 would be well advised to check the freezing point afterwards unless using concentrated coolant with specific dilution and performance recommendations.

BTW this device showed that my Land Rover coolant had dropped to just -10°C protection due to frequent topping up with water needing me to add undiluted fresh coolant to increase protection.
