antifreeze? Any good sources for Antifreeze-Coolant Propylene Glycol
Seems harder and harder to find. Should I just use everyday antifreeze? Or does that really corrode the bearings? |
Re: antifreeze? Walmart has the Propylene Glycol (the green stuff). Well at least for now. It may be totally outlawed in the future depending on who will be running things.

I bought some at our closest Walmart a few weeks ago. |
Re: antifreeze? QMDV,
I live in Massachusetts, and that post resonates a little too close to home. Went to the local Wally's a few months ago, and was shocked to pay $20.00 for two gallons of antifreeze. State DEP put a new tax on it. Thanks Granny Warren! |
Re: antifreeze? A little off topic but, does antifreeze have a shelf life? I have a couple of gallons that have been sitting on shelf for several years.

Re: antifreeze? $20 for TWO gallons is CHEAP ! ! Be Happy :) !

Re: antifreeze? In a 1933 model B or a 1933 v8 engine are 5 gallons proper coolant fill? or should 4.5 gallons be used because over overfill/runnoff?
|
Re: antifreeze? Here it is $10.89 a gallon concentrated so 50-50 mix makes it $5.45 a gallon usable.

Re: antifreeze? antifreeze actually does have a shelf life...sorta, in the big trucks they test it with some paper strips of some sort because it will get corrosive after 5 years or so. not sure if its from all the heating and cooling cycles, or a real shelf life.

Re: antifreeze? They have so many kinds on the shelf I'm about ready to go back to alcohol. 4 cars in garage, 3 of them Fords and 4 different requirements for antifreeze. Then you go to buy some and they sell gallons of "works in everything".

Re: antifreeze? Distilled water is $0.88/gal. here. That is what I use.

Re: antifreeze? It is a bit confusing with how many colours of anti freeze there are now. Besides the old green, I have some red, some yellow. Some recommended for diesel engines. On light duty gas engines I've been using "recycled" anti freeze that I have changed out of my diesel engines. Left to settle and filtered several times it looks pretty good and still tests food for our severe cold winters.

Re: antifreeze? I bought a gal. from NAPA this summer,cost around $25/00
|
Re: antifreeze? Regarding shelf life, I'm not sure about the anti corrosion properties but I recently drained the antifreeze out of a boat engine that was winterized 20 years ago. It was clean, still bright green and tested at -50F.
