This is a followup to my earlier post. I was overlooking
the math comparing the price of undiluted Prestone ($7.50)
to diluted Havoline (for which an equivalent amount would
require buying TWO bottles for a total of $10).
The main question is still whether the list would
recommend Havoline. Anyone??
=========================================
A local store is selling pre-diluted 50-50 antifreeze
by Texaco called Havoline. It is phosphate/silicate free
and uses carboxylate as its inhibitor. It is glycol-based.
Cost for prediluted gallon is $5. Same store had Prestone
for $7.50. The jug claims the product is good for 150,000
miles or 5 years, whichever comes first.
Question: Does this sound too good to be true?
Question: What do ya'll think of using HAVOLINE in a 84 Vanagon?
