My argument is that this is a dumb argument -- that was the point I was trying
to make from the start. What you call it DOESN'T MATTER. What matters is that
you use it, you use it properly, you flush the radiator at reasonable
intervals and replace the coolant/antifreeze/radiator liquid/whatever
following the manufacturer's instructions and good common sense -- no
miracles, no ignorance, no magic potions, no old wives' tales told by shade
tree mechanics over the counter of the long-gone auto parts store.
I think our work here is done.

Gary,
As a professional in the automotive repair business for the last 46 years (as
of August) I love people that argue that I don't know what I am talking about.
OK, I'll play.
That R&T definition was out of date as of 2000, and oh by the way what the
hell is glycolo? The word is glycol.
There are several different types of antifreeze on the market. The stuff GM
uses is not the same as what Ford uses or Chrysler, or Mercedes for that
matter. Their definition mentions none of that. Here is a fairly simple
explanation of some of the different types of coolant on the market today.
