Brian,
I've bought the Prestone 5/150 too and I'm about 1 week away from "the big flush".  I've been trying to confirm, through the Prestone website, that the 5/150 has an electrolysis inhibitor as well.  The reply that I got from them was so generic (and they spelled VW as "Volkswagon") that it gives me the eebie-jeebies.  Has anybody been able to find out for sure if the Prestone fills this requirement like Autobahn?
