Hi is it ok to mix up a batch and add it to the factory filled fluid, or should I use up all the factory / blue stuff first

I mixed mine with existing. I want some of the blue stuff in there because I think the kristal will freeze too easy otherwise

I added it after the light came on to indicate the washer fluid was low.All worked well and I really enjoy the scent every time I clean the windows

Yes, as long as your goal is to eliminate the blue stuff. Keep in mind that this is not for winter use in cold climates

I just pour it directly into the tank when I do the water change, not sure if it would make a difference if you mixed it in a separate gallon each time. Hope this helps.

You can add it to new fluid or you can add it to existing fluid. Just right down the transmission fluid fill hole. It is the size of a med tube of tooth paste. So you dont have to worry about overflow.

Up to half a quart over is fine. If adding this would be over filling more than that you would probably want to siphon a little out first. Filling and draining repeatedly through the dipstick would just remove the stuff your adding if you didn't run the engine in between.

no, unless you have too much in the bucket and brutus is sunk deep in it before pressing start button. for best result, start mixing small amount and keep adding slowly.

Yes, but if you want the best out of this product and peace of mind knowing you won't overfill the oil level, it's best to add this when you change your oil and just as the oil level is a hair or two below the full mark. That way you won't run the risk of overfilling. When you perform the oil change: as soon as you are adding the new oil after emptying the old oil and putting a new filter on, fill it up until it's a little below the full mark, and add the 8 oz. bottle.

I put an additive into both of my vehicles. I used to use a plastic funnel and spilled more than what got in. This Behrens funnel bends to where you need it. I'd suggest that if you're going to fill something using a 5 gallon can (which I have not experienced) that you have someone there to hold the funnel in place. Safety first! Hope this helps.

Yes and no. If you add this to a reservoir with another fluid already in it,it will dilute the Prestone mixture in where it wont work as intended.However this poor product dont work any better than regular blue washer fluid anyway so youll be fine.

The way I have did it the last three years is, with around 1/2 tank at the station, put in the BG44, then fill the tank up. I do this ever spring after the car has been in storage through winter. Runs like a top in the spring.

I would agree that it is since we have the same engine "technically". The issue you may want to consider is if you have been using a non-synthetic oil- this one is indeed synthetic and I hear that you shouldn't mix. If you are already using synthetic this is a fantastic oil for our cars.I am using it in a 2012 Audi A4 1.8T

Double check me but I'm 95% sure that you mix it 50/50 with distilled water. i would not top off with this if its not already in there. i would top off with distilled water or drain and fill with coolant distilled water mix.

No.. You can mix your own or you can buy the premix... Since most auto gas now has so much alcohol in it I do prefer the premix but you can certainly mix your own. If you do mix with automotive gas it is best to drain the tank after each use.

As jgr says make sure u follow the directions. The package comes with everything. u will only need a container to mix the two solutions together.

Absolutely! Just follow the directions on the side of the container. You'll want to add the full container to a relatively empty tank and then fill the tank up which helps it to mix.

You should treat the additive as oil when adjusting fill level .Ideally you should not exceed the max mark .however if your oil level is at or below full mark the extra 0.3 L should not be a problem .I did it like that and so far so good .you could also drain 300ml of oil before putting the additive . you could ask you mechanic also...Regards

I am not sure I want to get involved with a lot of questions. However, this is my OPINION, even though I have training. If you are going to add oil from the RED TEK can, it should be added first and it goes in the low side where the refrigerant goes. On my system, since it was apart, I added the oil directly into the accumulator. My old R12 system used mineral oil. Refrigerant oils are not all the same. especially the PAG oil. Some oils do not mix well together. Ester Oil is the most compatible, I think. The RED TEK oil should be OK. Hope this helps and be careful.

Absolutely use the oil gas mix. failure may destroy your engine I use 91 octane
