QUESTION: thewrong stuff was put into my dads car, so i just drain the stuff thats in it and
the northstar  should have 50 /50 of dex coolant and distilled water  right, any
thing else that goes in the mix ? then just run it as usual ?

Answer
You need to add some radiator SEALANT PELLETS to the coolant system. ASK the parts counter person and they will give you what you need.

STRONGLY suggest that you ONLY install HALF the recommended amount that it states within the instructions.
