My Clausing has a flood coolant system. Which actually works, except

diluted about 40:1. This oil is not so bad, as I kept a jar of it
diluted for about half a year, and it did not separate and did not
stink.

My question is, would occasional use of this coolant rust the lathe.

Make sure it doesn't freeze in the system, you have the lathe in your
garage in Chicago right.

I added RV entifreeze to it, approximately 1/5th of the total quantity
of liquid. It should be enough, I think, given that I try to keep my
garage not too cold.
