Blake, are you saying that the green stuff is safe for aluminum? I wouldn't be surprised since so many parts are Al these days. The reason I ended up with the orange is that I knew for sure that it w

The green stuff is safe for aluminum engines and works great - as long as you change it every two years. The green stuff has a silicate type corrosion inhibitor added that is sacrificial. After a co

We had a coolant discussion last summer, I think it was. There had been a two-part editorial in one of the big US magazines (I'm thinking Car and Driver, but maybe it was Automobile). Anyway the edit

Good question James, but I really don't know the answer. The silicates in the green stuff are said to "plate" the innards of an engine - that's how they protect the metal from the water. What happens
