We should run our cars on anti-freezing mixture throughout the winter. We attach a pamphlet from Smiths relative to their anti-freeze solution. We should run one car on this to obtain experience with it; we are writing to them to know exactly what this fluid is. The other cars should be run on "Prestone".
