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.

Subject: orange coolant...who uses it?

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?
