Most of my older cars get prestone green but i was thinking of using GO-5 yellow what does everyone think?
I have my car filled with regular cheap green and never had a problem with the cooling system besides a cracked radiator at 130k miles. Original equipment was Toyota red coolant.
I guess color isn't the best way to know what youre using.
who makes the old real green .

It seems to be a [censored] shoot if you buy a used vehicle and the prior owner changed the antifreeze to ???
Donald,
Yep, used cars - was the coolant ever changed and if so to what and if there is a bleed valve was the system burped? The average driver seems to not realize there is a need for cooling system maintenance.

Pep boys Proline, Chevron and Trinity that I know of. We used to use Trinity at our shop. It's recycled and has the SCA addatives for HD diesels. The supplier gave us a better price on the Chevron so we went to that.
I think most still make it just that the stores don't stock it.
Here is Prestones line up. http://www.prestone.com/products/antifreezeCoolant.php
Scroll down the the 7th bottle. The HD stuff. It's not a Dexclone and neither is #10 the Prime stuff.

I have a bottle of the Prime stuff and it says it's good for 5 years/150k miles. Also contains 2-EHA. Sounds like a Dexclone to me.
Shoot! They musta changed the chemistry since I last saw a bottle of it.
