It's always water plus antifreeze, but check in your owner's manual to see what type of antifreeze is recommended. Ethylene glycol (green) or the silicone-based ones (pink) and dilute it 50-50 with water.

Strait antifreeze freezes, it needs water & a typical mix is 50% antifreeze & 50% water. You can buy this premixed coolant @ any auto parts store as well as Wal mart, K mart and most of the c-stores in your area

as properly protection from freezing, different projects coolant performs is discouraging rust and and lubricating the water pump. Coolant looses the rust protection and lubricating protection after approximately 2 years. at an analogous time as you probably did no longer injury something interior the quick term, interior the long-term, like this coming iciness you ought to empty and replenish your equipment taking care to apply the right ratio. you will no longer get each and all of the previous coolant out so i might err on the element of a sprint richer combination of coolant to water.

Fluid Type Specifications
Notes
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion protection. Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the equivalent ethylene glycol base coolant with hybrid organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is recommended.
This coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% Ethylene Glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of -37°C (-35°F) .
If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
IMPORTANT: The green coolant MUST NOT BE MIXED with the orange or magenta coolants. When replacing coolant the complete system flush must be performed before using the replacement coolant.

Generally it is a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water. Whatever the climate, you need anti-freeze. It keeps the engine cool in hot weather and keeps the fluid from freezing in cold climates.
