Antifreeze
has anyone ever used the preston 50/50 coolant. The only one type of coolants i could find were premixed and labeled all makes all models. It says to add it to any antifreeze. I just don't want any problems. Couldn't find the green coolant at auto zone or walmart. It's a yellow color. Somone please advise.

If you're looking for the old-style "North American" non-extended use green antifreeze that was used in the corvettes before '96, it is available at NAPA and Carquest. Wal-Mart, Autozone, and AdvanceAuto don't carry it anymore. AutoZone even tried telling me it wasn't made anymore.

The premix is twice the price. I buy the regular stuff and mix in distilled water.
Just a thought. The pre mix is about $12 a gallon, the straight stuff is about the same price and distilled water is under a buck.

$12 a gallon in NJ? Wowzer...
Still cheaper to mix your own though...
A lot of antifreezes are now 'urine yellow' in color to show universal compatibility w/ BMW Mercedes etc. as well as GM Ford etc.
