 Sierra.  Is this acceptable for VWs AND if so, can it be mixed with the

Sierra is based on propylene Glycol instead of ethylene glycol.  It's major
advantage is that it is non-toxic.  I do not know of any problems with using
it except I believe it should not be mixed.  Both prestone and Zerex sell non
phospate antifreeze.  It is marketed as that long life stuff at about $10.00
a gallon.  This is my preference.
