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!
