Next time your motor is cold Frank, check your coolant level. It may be time to change your thermostat. Check your hoses and make sure they're not cracked on the ends. Look for leaks. Where does your temp gauge needle go up to? Middle or slightly above that is normal. Need more info though. I don't think it's anything serious...yet, but check the obvious stuff first and make sure that you're not just using water alone. Maybe it's time for a flush too.

Jakbob's right too, I would suggest making it easier on yourself and get the premixed 50/50 stuff.

yeah a pretty common problem ppl do is just put a bottle of 100% and fill the rest with water when you should really premix it before you put it in your car...cause even if it says 4 quarts (just a number off the top of my head) you wont get all 4 quarts out...so...premixing...its great...
