Hi All-
Well, after reading this thread I started to freak out because I just went through my coolant system(stat,hoses,flush) and had no intention to put DexiCool in it. Then I see Prestone "Extended Life" is the same as Dexicool. I used Prestone to refill my system, 10% with distilled water and water wetter.
So out to the garage I go to read my Prestone bottle.
The front of the yellow 1 gal. jug says: NEW Formula! ALL Makes, ALL Models. Mix with any color antifreeze. Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant(caps were as I printed here).
The Back of jug says:
Warning: Contains Ethylene glycol(107-21-1), Diethylene glycol(111-46-6), Sodium 2-ethyl hexanoate(19766-89-3), and Sodium neodecanoate(31548-27-3).
From what I read here, this containing Ethylene glycol, this prestone product should be O.K. to use, meaning it is not Dexicool, is this correct logic??
The product goes on to state: Intended for all passenger vehicles & light trucks. Compatible with ANY make or model on the road today. Designed to provide up to 5 years or 150,000 miles of protection for extended performance when added to ANY EXTENDED LIFE antifreeze/coolant(The caps were in the write up). Protects aluminum & all other engine metals. The product does not specifically state it meets GM 1825M spec
Tell me this is O.K., and is not the extended life others have mentioned here. I bought this Prestone in March of 2006.....
