What is the minimum glycol % that ensures corrosion protection? Freezing
is not
really an issue where I live.

 The back of the Prestone bottle says "Minimum mix:  50/50, Maximum
mix 70EG/30Water"   My Honda owner's manual says only use 50/50
and non-silicate coolant to avoid damage to the aluminum engine.
