Hello!
I'm finally getting around to changing over nearly every fluid in my '97 Saturn SW2 (205,564 mi. Unknown mileage/age of antifreeze.) and ran across a few oddball Valvoline products when researching their Durablend line.
Having had excellent luck with their MaxLife 5W/30 oil in the past, I was wondering if their MaxLife Antifreeze (Part #719009) is worth testing. As this is an all-make, all-model type, I've become somewhat hesitant after reading up a bit on this forum. She sat for nearly two years, so the water pump is needing lubrication after even 2k miles. Should I run some green with lube for the next coolant cycle and switch over?

Keeping your higher mileage car on the road means doing everything you can to protect it from engine breakdown. MaxLife Antifreeze/Coolant helps extend the life of higher mileage vehicles by keeping your vehicle's engine temperature stable in all climate and driving conditions by transferring heat from the engine to the radiator. Over 60% of today’s vehicles on the road contain antifreeze with silicate.
The leading antifreeze brands claiming “all makes, all models” use a corrosion inhibitor package without silicate. These chemistries, when mixed together, may fail to protect the cooling system from rust and corrosion. MaxLife® Antifreeze is the only antifreeze to contain Alugard® Plus, a special additive which allows these chemistries to work together to provide maximum protection.
Thanks!
