Wah so rajin. Some cars like honda, they dont recommend flushing. Just drain radiator and top up.

Typically, you should not have to change the radiator coolant unless it changes color.

there is 1 simple tool that you can use to measure coolant "performance"

if out of specs then can consider change

Ic.

What will happen If use concentrated one 100% without mixing with water, those come is 500ml or so bottle.

from what i know

water helped on transfer the heat from engine into the coolant

as for coolant is more focus on raising boiling point and keeping entire water/liquid cold

if you used fully concentrated coolant without premix ..heat transfer from engine to coolant will be bad
