G05 is a solid choice for any classic with old school copper/brass radiators.
People are still using that overpriced junk?Evans waterless coolant.
I use conventional green with distilled water in two older engines. I change the coolant every five years, never had a cooling system failure, no deposits in the radiator and the coolant comes out clear green everytime.By that argument, he should also use SD classification motor oil as well. No, avoid conventional green which won't last 5 years. G05 or Peak 10x is the way to go.
Use it in my 72 GS, same routine as you do and never had any issues.I use conventional green with distilled water in two older engines. I change the coolant every five years, never had a cooling system failure, no deposits in the radiator and the coolant comes out clear green everytime.
Are you using the Zerex Green ?Use it in my 72 GS, same routine as you do and never had any issues.
No there is no point. The suggestion is not applicable to your needs.I will have to look into Evans a little more.
That is just to funny . Pure MarketingI ended up calling Peak’s tech support.. He also stated even though it says ten years on the bottle, there is no way he will leave it in for that long. He stayed 5 years max on his personal cars.
Yes you have a difficult choice, which I faced myself. After a thorough flush of the block, a new radiator, new thermostat and new hoses, etc., I went with Mopar 68048953 5-year HOAT pink antifreeze/coolant for my 1972 Road Runner and 1986 Omni. That was 10+ years ago and everything is fine. Zerex does make a 5 year green. It is called Original Green. Other HOAT types are the Zerex G-48 (less expensive than Mopar) and the Mercedes G-48. There are pros and cons to each type but I picked the pink Mopar, but I bet the others would have been fine too.I am completing a full restoration of a 1969 340 Dart. It has a cast iron block and heads, aluminum intake and brass radiator/heater core. The engine and all cooling components are bone dry and haven’t seen any antifreeze yet.
I want to put something that will protect fairly fast and last awhile. Car will probably only be driven a few thousand miles a year.
I’ve been looking at Zerex conventional green, zerex G-05, BMW antifreeze (have a 328d), or just going with peak 10x.
I also see people mention rotella ELC.
Just looking for something that I don’t have to worry about for the next 5 years and don’t have to worry about the cast iron and brass/copper.
In case you didn’t know, the pink Mopar 68048953 HOAT is identical to Zerex G-05 and MC Premium Gold, other than the pink color.Yes you have a difficult choice, which I faced myself.
