I forgot to say thanks to all those list members who offered advice over the past year while I got up the courage to attempt the coolant change! One more thing: I got 2 jugs of Longlife at Walmart, then went back to get one more, but it was sold out. I then got another jug a few weeks later, which had a different label. Both are longlife Prestone, both say phosphate & silicate free, but one is orange, and the other yellowish. The yellow one has # W-4816-M on the label & says good for 115,000km The orange one is # P-407-M ands says 160,000 km. Hmmmm. I'm assuming one is just old stock, can anyone confirm this?
