Beware. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
I don't see the point of pinching pennies on something that only needs to be done every several years, but which sits in my engine the whole time and is part of a critical system.

 

I agree. This is ZEREX brand. It’s the same thing I can buy anywhere else for $18 a gallon. That’s significant.
Based on my inter web research there seems to be conflicting and vague information regarding changing to the universal stuff. I’m inclined to make this cheap and easy without sacrificing quality. This seems to be the way to go.

 

I agree with you MMJ.

It is just a matter of flushing, including having the heater turned on high position to flush it all out well. No need to worry as long as temps are above 32 F.

 

Considering how much we pay for fuel, it's dirt-cheap, IMO.

 

I only hope that you realize that you cannot simply pour it into your street drainage system. I have no idea what it would do to a farm-type of waste drainage. I will need to look into this matter as I need to drain the coolant on my 15' Malibu soon enough. You do need to keep it away from pets like cats and dogs or it will poison them as many coolants do not contain an additive that makes coolants not taste sweet to such animals and it will destroy their kidneys, leading to their deaths.

 

Not my first rodeo. I’m 73 years old. I’ve changed more coolant in more vehicles that I can remember since I was 18 . The county dump takes it but they don’t make it easy. They have all kinds of rules and I don’t have the patience to deal with them. I typically put the used coolant in containers and put it in the “recycle “ container the waste company provides. They sort out the plastic from the metals , cardboard and paper . So they find it and do whatever it is they do with it.
