Karl and LIstees: I've used the orange Prestone(only a $1/gal more than the green stuff). No catch to my knowledge. used it for 2 yr. Have had enough hoses blow/radiator cleaning/new waterpump et al over that two years that the coolant stays pretty fresh. Still think I'd change it once a year. Fnally got all the seepage undser control now. Dimwitted noose and Flying Squirrel 90GL Millennium Falcon III 123k -----Original Message----- From: Karl F.

So how many of y'all use the orange extended life, e.g. Texaco DexCool, stuff? Ethylene glycol based, no phosphates or silicates. Sounds good, esp. @$6.99/gal vs $15 for Autobahn. Is there a catch? -Karl Karl and Kristina Bloss, Trexlertown, PA '87 GL Weekender "Beverley" Busses by the Trail - Oct 15-17, 1999 http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/bbtt |
