Yep, I'm in agreement with you guys. I'm gonna pull it and take
it back. If they try to dance, I'll just politely leave with it and
buy one
somewhere else....and send a letter to headquarters because
I have done nothing to void the warranty. BTW, does Prestone
only sell 50/50 now (at roughly the same price per gallon as they
used to sell 100% before)? I was at K-Mart recently and that's
all I saw. Great gig they've got, i.e. sell half-gallon of anti-freeze
mixed with an equal part water, and keep the price the same!
Thanks!
