G12+ coolant: add 50/50 w/distilled H2O?

Noticed my coolant level was below minimum. Got some G12+. No idea what the ratio is in there already, but if I add some, should I go say 50% coolant with 50% distilled water?

You can.. Topping off with distilled water alone is acceptable as well.

Be sure to pre-mix it; or it will cycle through the engine like H2O/G12/H20/G12/H20/G12/H20.....

and spot freeze parts of your motor.

But I did know someone who really should have known better, but DID think that. I couldn't make up that first part.
