Typical Prestone DOES have phosphates even though the label doesn't mention that they're in there. Prestone also makes a coolant that does NOT have phosphates. I believe that it's called something like LongLife 460 or something like that. This coolant jug says specifically that it does NOT contain phosphates. Regards, Jim Davis 87 GL Syncro 88 GL Wolfsburg
