% Year Antifreeze
I've always used "green" Prestone antifreeze in my A. I 'd like to change to one of the new 5-year antifreezes in this years change. Is there any reason not to use one of these in an A engine? Do you have any brand recommendations? Thanks.

Re: % Year Antifreeze
Just use the "green" Prestone for 5 years. Methinks the annual change is just a marketing ploy to sell more product.

Re: % Year Antifreeze
I've seen/heard that the antifreeze itself does not wear out, but the additives deplete. Are there bottled additives for refreshing the additives available?
Have also heard/seen that antifreeze should have a minimum 8.0 PH. If checked this way would an additive restore the PH? |
