+2 you can have fallout that is why they have a time limit in addition to the mileage limit. Use 60/40 not 50/50 like the rest of the US.

I do the same thing, radiator drain and refill at about 40% of the recommended interval....never a corrosion issue.

If it were me , I would gather up some 1 gallon jugs and go by the water places & pay $ .25 a gallon for the " pure " water .
What I do , every few years is drop the lower radiator hose and drain as best as I can . Then add 100% antifreeze . On our GM cars , takes about a gallon . Use the " pure " water as needed . Check with an anti freeze tester .
Best of luck on the 300 !

Your vehicle takes 3.5 gallons of coolant so a 60/40 mixture would be 2.1 gallons of coolant concentrate 1.4 gallons of de-ionized (preferred) or distilled water.
(If it is the 5.7 V8)

Ok so I put a new drain plug plastic back in, I drained the system from the bottom hose, " not messing with the plastic plug again" It took a little over a gallon of straight coolant zerex and about 1/3 of distilled water from a gallon jug. engine is a 3.5 V6 Touring model
Your system then is 2.5 Gallons total so a 60/40 split would be: 1.5 Gallons Coolant Concentrate to 1 Gallon de-ionized water / distilled water.
