    You're not supposed to run pure antifreeze, so water has to be in that mix somewhere.

    Premixed because I hate dicking around with hoses.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    pre mixed means you paid to much.

    Exactly.

    $12 for pure anti-freeze, or $10 for 50/50.... waste of money
