Re: best anti-freeze ?
Wow, good to know Tom! It's getting tougher to find the "right" stuff, it sounds like...

I had both bottles side by side and went down the labels on the backs. The tip off was the real silicated stuff says "Do Not Add to DEXCOOL" The new stuff didn't have that on the label and it didn't have "contains silicates". The part numbers were the same though.

Carquest sells an appropriate formula as well, FYI.

Re: best anti-freeze ?
I used the EVANS propylene glycol coolant for about five years. The reasoning? No water = no corrosion.
It's touted as effective in race cars like pro stockers that may have hot spots in the combustion chamber at 14 to 1 compression. I thought it would bring the coolant temps down, It didn't. So now I'm back to the green stuff. |
