Buy it for the jug!
It's expensive for this bottle because it's premixed. But mixing your own is a little rough without another container. So buy this bottle and one that's not mixed. Use this one until empty and...Read complete review
It's expensive for this bottle because it's premixed. But mixing your own is a little rough without another container. So buy this bottle and one that's not mixed. Use this one until empty and then pour half of the nondilluted mix. Add water and you have two jugs ready to roll!

Paying for water!
Buying the 50/50 is like paying for water- why not buy the regular coolant and mix it with water yourself- save some money?

Comments about Prestone DEX-COOL® 50/50 Prediluted Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant:
GM/SAAB rates this as a lifetime fluid, I've never heard of such a thing. While I did drain the old stuff out and for the most part it appeared clean, antifreeze also has anti corrosives that I cannot quantify just based on how "clean" the fluid looks. In my filler neck there was some flaking of old fluid, so I went ahead and changed it out.
I think 6 years is a reasonable time to change a lifetime fluid esp if it is so cheap.
The pour-a-bility of these bottles needs to be worked on. Seeing as how the filler neck is 2" wide at most, and most bottles are filled to the brim, pouring starts with even the slightest tilt making aiming a chore. Fix that and you have a winner!

Comments about Prestone DEX-COOL® 50/50 Prediluted Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant:
When GM says use DEXCOOL due to the life of the cooling system of your vehicle use DEXCOOL. The 50/50 makes it easier should you ever need to add the fluid. If I flush my system I will not allow them to put anything but DEXCOOL back into the system.
