Re: Antifreeze cost comparisons
I used to read on here NEVER use antifreeze in your Model A engine. Story was if it ever got into your pan it would eat the babbit. Has something changed?

Re: Antifreeze cost comparisons
Same thing is true for any engine.If it gets into the pan in a modern engine it wipes out the babbit too.The babbit is just a little thinner in a modern engine.It doesn't attack it because it is babbit,it just wipes it out because it is not a lube.It's like trying to use water for oil.

"Oh my God ... There are 6.022 times 10 to the 23rd power, atoms in each Mole of water and some of it spilled on my white lab coat!
How many Jigawatts of power will it take to dry out my white lab coat in the dryer? |

Re: Antifreeze cost comparisons
Comparing antifreeze to Catsup, "wunder" if I can buy a GALLON Jug of Catsup??? That would last out for 27 Lbs of Fish Sticks or Hot Dog Weiners.

Re: Antifreeze cost comparisons
Is the boiling point of catsup higher or lower than ketchup?

Re: Antifreeze cost comparisons
Well, the boiling point is dependent on how much antifreeze you mix in with that red stuff, no matter what you call it.
Geeez, everybody knows that! |

Re: Antifreeze cost comparisons
My local ACE Hardware stocks SIERRA which I also like due to its non-toxic contents and resistance to foaming. I use it with DISTILLED WATER at around $1 per gallon at Stop & Shop.

Re: Antifreeze cost comparisons
For antifreeze, it is all about price, and not the 50-50 stuff! To me, ethylene glycol is ethylene glycol, and if it is sold as antifreeze, low price is always my choice! What I try and do is have in the back of my mind my current garage inventory, and I try not to buy this stuff when I need it but rather when on sale! It does require being aware of the best prices!
