I'm using the extended life Prestone in my 90 GL. It's only been in there for a few weeks but so far no problem. I also used the Moroso ceramic seal to stop a head leak and it seems to be working too (although the weather here in Calif. is warm now so that may be the difference). I'll let the list know if I suffer a outpouring of the pink stuff and have to sue Prestone! --- "Tom L.
