I'd go with one jug of strait anti-freeze and fill the rest with water.I need to change the radiator fluid in my 2003 Eclipse. It has the v6. How many 50/50 jugs do i need?
We only drain and fill at the Mits dealer every 30,000 miles. Use the radiator drain plug. Normally only 1 gallon of mixed anti-freeze is needed. By a gallon of straight anti-freeze and use an old windshield washer gallon bottle to split it in half. I'd make sure you have a mix which is safe to -35 degrees F. Cheap $2.00 testers work the first year. Take the coolant reservoir out and dump it, spray out the bottle and fill it to within 1%26quot; of the top. This will give you extra anti-freeze that will always suck into the system when the motor cools down. Run the system with the radiator cap off for at least the time it takes to trigger the electric fan on the radiator to purge the system of air. You will likely need to add to the reservoir the next day, it's hard to get all the air out in one try.I need to change the radiator fluid in my 2003 Eclipse. It has the v6.

Non and here is why.
Lets say it cost 8.00 you just spent 4 .00 for a 1/2 gallon of water.
So here is what you do.
Open the drain on the radiator and when all the water is out, when empty close drain. Then buy a 1 gallon of antifreeze not mixed with water.
Pour in the gallon and then fill the rest with water.
Even if you dont get it right at 50/50, you would have more antifreeze then water and this is better then a 50/50 mix
