Straight antifreeze ( ethylene glycol ) freezes at 8.6 degrees Fahrenheit / -13 degrees
celsius - it has to be mixed with preferably distilled water to provide proper protection
for the automotive cooling system ( freezing / boiling / and corrosion protection )
and for the temperature sensors / water pump / radiator etc to function correctly .
Ford recommends not dropping below 40 % antifreeze and not exceeding 60 %
antifreeze to prevent damage to the cooling system

Which antifreeze-coolant would one use for a 2000 Jeep GC Laredo?
depending if you live in mainly cold or hot weather area, cold weather-- use a 50-50 dexcool [orange liquid] straight in backup tank and 50% antifreeze/50% water in radiator, do not add water to backup tank. Hot weather-- [my recommendation] use a 50-50 dexcool [orange liquid] straight in backup tank [no water], and 20% antifreeze/80% water plus add liquid called waterwetter [pink liquid] to radiator, this will greatly keep engine running cooler by almost 15-20 degrees
