just notice on prestone yellow container

[EricF]

was looking at a new prestone yellow bottle today.. on back of label it now says: borate, phosphate and silicate free.
however on the warning label, it says plain as day, it contains 2-EHA.

by removing the borates, phosphates and silicates, it becomes an asian antifreeze.. however with the 2EHA it's still a dex-clone.

I don't remember seeing this on other prestone labels, from years ago, then again, I pretty much made up my mind to only use prestone in cars earlier than 1995 anyway.

what gives?

The Asian antifreezes have phosphates.

 

[440Magnum]

Asian HOAT: phosphates
European HOAT: silicates or phosphates
Dexclone: neither

IMO Prestone is jack of all trades, master of none.

Most of use are better off going to NAPA and getting the right stuff, like Zerex G-05 or Zerex Asian, or a real Dexcool. Can't get everything at Walmart.

...and I've got this stuff in my poor old Civic. What all could go wrong before I convert it over to something not containing 2-eha?
