A few of the 12 valve guys are using the Prestone Orange with good results.

I have had mine in for quite a while with no problems.

Is it not true that ALL modern cooling systems are designed to run with a coolant mix all yr round..

plain water - especially from the tap - is BAD, ie, encourages corrosion and such?

I just switched to Texaco Dex cool.

so far so good. Easier to find in a pinch as well as being many times cheaper....
