I work in a lab for an agricultural oil and antifreeze company.
I test all of our coolants (green, red, and yellow) with a refractometer.
YouTube has a few videos on how to use, do and don'ts, and etc.
I think the freeze point for most green and red is anywhere from negative 32 to negative 36 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yellow is negative 41 to negative 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course you'll want to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
I have mixed dexcool in the lab, for my blazer....I don't recall what the freezepoint is, but it's listed on the jug.
