    Peak All Vehicles Antifreeze/Coolant

    I have been quietly reading here on coolants/antifreeze for years. Red Asian, Blue Asian, Dex Cool, GO-5, conventional green, all makes all models. If the Peak is truly 10 X more scale inhibitors, guaranteed lifetime protection, 10+ years and 300,000 miles why would anyone use anything else...

    Premixed Blue Coolant

    I have a 2010 Subaru Outback which takes Subaru blue long life coolant. Pep Boys has a gallon undiluted for about $15.00. On a Subaru forum was advised to use the premixed long life blue because it has deionized water, not distilled. Apparently deionized water is not easy nor economical to...

    Windows Edge Browser cannot fill in pdf

    I have been working on some tax forms and have discovered that Edge will not let me fill in the pdf files. It displays the form but that is all. After some reading this seems to be the case and a work around is to choose Internet Explorer with Adobe Acrobat Reader. I found that Chrome and...

    Maybe this has been covered but could not find an answer. I have Windows 7 currently. If I accept and install Windows 10 what happens in the event of having to reformat and recover? Will I have to reinstall 7, then 10? Thanks, Scott

    MotorCraft filters

    I like to use MotorCraft oil filters and usually purchase them at WalMart. Twice in the last year I have gotten filters with a depression or dent on the bottom about the size of a quarter, not very deep but noticeable. The boxes were intact, no evidence of damage, and the filters looked pristine...

    G-05 coolant question

    I had flushed and refilled my truck with the Zerex G-05 formulation last March. It was such a pale amber color at the time I had trouble believing it would keep its pristine, non-cloudy, water like appearence. I thought it would darken, discolor, or maybe become cloudy, nearly six months later...

On the bottom of the container is stamped 07-18-05. If as of November of 2004 allowed to claim API M why would...
