Message only yeild about 5 quarts. Therefore there is still about 6 quarts in the system with the old mix. Thus filling with 50/50 coolant might still not get you to an overall 50/50 after all the mixing takes place. Run the car and put the heater on to get the system all mixed then check solution level to determine the freezing and boiling points and then relate those back to the % anti freeze in the system using a chart on the back ofthe coolant bottle. These coolant solution checkers are available at auto stores.

Here are coolant charts for freeze and boil points for various % antifreeze
