It seems like some are getting confused by my procedure. The last flush left 15.5 quarts of distilled water in the system when the pet**** quit draining. I then added 2 gallons (8 quarts) of pure Ford Gold Antifreeze.

8 quarts/15.5 quarts = 52% Antifreeze / 48% Water

I continued filling the coolant reservoir with a 50/50 mixture of Ford Gold Antifreeze and distilled water until the reservoir was full.

I checked my freeze protection using a coolant tester and it indicated that I was slightly over a 50/50 mix as was indicated by the freeze protection of ~-42deg F. A true 50/50 mix will yield a -34deg F freeze protection.
