Pentosin Pentofrost A3 Advance Auto

[GW.]

I grabbed 3 gallons. May go back for more!

I think this is the OEM stuff for my Volvo but I just used the zerex equivalent. That is cheap!

Edit: just saw this is their Asian line and not the Euro blue.

I got a gallon for $1.76 at my local Advance. It was all they had and it is a perfect match for my Nissan.

Are red and blue the same formula, just different dyes?

 

[michaelluscher]

None in stock by me

 

[samiamz]

Works perfect for my 02 Honda Odyssey!
Ordered 2 @2.35 each.
Many stores in SE Michigan still seem to have in stock

My local store had 3 left, where marked down to $1.74ea.

I got 4 for my Nissans the other day. I bought a gallon a few yrs back at regular price so this evens it out.

Good heads up. None near my home, but a lot in DE/MD. Ended up getting four in Penns Grove, NJ, right by the Delaware memorial bridge. I drive that bridge a lot so it’s convenient enough.

Wish we had advanced here. I want to swap everything except my f250 to the Asian red but at that price blue

BTW I have done some research and the a3 and a4 are basically the same formulation. Their datasheets are also almost exact. So it appears there is no issue using this in Toyotas. Both a3 and a4 datasheets have this exact line: Pentafrost A3 is fixable with all phosphated OATs

My Frontier isn't due for awhile, but this is too good a deal not to take advantage of. I believe Pentosin is the OEM supplier for Nissan so I just ordered a couple of gallons to pick up tomorrow. Can't go wrong for only $5 total.

That was supposed to say Mixable

It is, or at least it was. I did a double drain and fill, which is about all you need @75k on my 18 rogue. The manual states 150k so of course I’ll cut that in half. Not so much on a frontier, but cvt Nissans depend on the radiator to help cool the fluid, so fresh coolant is a no brainer.

Just picked up three jugs at Carquest in Pueblo, CO. Super nice counter guys, very old school auto parts store.

I didn't read this thread well, assumed this was blue Mercedes coolant. Now know it is Asian.

For $7.32 USD, happy to have on the shelf.

That Pentofrost A3 coolant will be perfect for your Acura RDX. I bought out all 11 gallons of the A3 that was available locally for $1.76 per jug.

Just got one nearby for $2.35 plus tax. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[OilyGuy]

Anybody have an opinion on mixing this stuff with factory Honda Long-Life type 2 coolant? It expressly states on the label to not mix with other coolants.

I picked up a set of metric ratcheting wrenches for $4.35 and some wheel chocks for like $4.50. Also 4 bottles of Pentofrost blue.
