Green  coolant can be phosphate free.

As has been discussed here numerous  times, the color of the coolant is
not necessarily a correct indicator of  its contents.  For several years,
the house brand coolant from  Advanced Auto was both green and phosphate
free.  It was what I  used.  Other variant examples have been noted  also.

Well, that's very interesting.  I've received  a few responses telling me the
same thing.  HOWEVER, up here in the great  nation of CANADA we have no green
coolant that is phosphate free.  Not in  the Ottawa area anyways.  Now, I'll
wait and see how many tell me I'm wrong  on this too.........The Prestone Long
Life we have here is the Dex Cool  compatible stuff in the silver jug.  We do
not have the Prestone Extended  Life in the yellow jug nor any other types of
green coloured coolant that is  phosphate free.
