Sometime ago, Joel Walker posted a series on the latest in coolant technology,
compatibility with existing coolants, etc. Based on that, I have switched one Westy
and soon, the other, to Zerex G05. Not available at Wal-Mart and not the cheapest, but
still more widely available and cheaper than Autobahn blue.
The series of msgs (five, long and comprehensive) are in the archives, beginning
12/03/06, under the subject, "which is the best coolant to use?"
