Peak Lifetime Coolant?
Man I hope this isn't a dupe... but I was watching Behind the Headlights on Speed (I really don't have much going on) and saw this ad for Peak Global Lifetime coolant. The whole attidue seemed to be to dump it in and forget it (after a flush, of course). Hmmm... I like the sounds of that, but it sounds too good to be true. Nothing lasts forever. Whatta you guys think? Snake Oil? BS? Promised Land?

I'd have to say, 
I think it's lifetime in the sense that you probably won't keep your car long enough to worry about it... That was the whole pitch behind selling lifetime warranty services like brakes, parts, etc...

I'm thinking of dumping it all and starting fresh. So whats the best? The only thing I believe lasts forever is "change"
Mixing is a NO NO. It will turn to sludge in your cooling system. If I were you I would clean out the system ASAP
