The new kind is propylene glycol (I think). It is orange, doesn't break down like ethylene glycol. Just top it off as needed. Rex Burkheimer Marketing Director, WM Automotive Warehouse Fort Worth TX

Propylene glycol (the original brand was Sierra, though I see that Prestone is selling a similar product now) is the chief component of the low toxicity anti-freezes (i.e., it won't kill your cat or

I just went through this with a '96 Blazer. The product is made by Texaco, and is called Dex-Cool. The five-year interval is due to the types of additives it uses. The conventional stuff tends to br

I've seen the third party stuff, but they make a big point of be Dex-Cool compatible and GM certified, but they say nothing about Ford compatibility. I've wondered if Ford and GM use different stuff
