Engine Coolant, "shelf life"?
I have a neighbor moving away, and he has a few gallons of old anti-freeze, green / yellow Prestone stuff, still in original , sealed with the foil, containers. It is about 10 years old. He was going to take it to the recycle place, but asked me if I wanted it. I flush my coolant regularly and use the old style stuff, so I could certianly put it to use.
What is the shelf life of the old style (non-Dexcool) anti-freeze when kept in sealed, un-openned original containers?

Q. What is the shelf life of Prestone® Antifreeze/Coolant?
A. If the product is still in the original sealed container then it has a shelf life of many years. If the product has been opened and has not been diluted with water then it also has a shelf life of many years.
