Just did a complete distilled water flush series using full strength PGL in an 01 Tacoma replacing Toyota red LL. Figure I'm good now for 4 years give or take.
If Asian OEM AF's and ZAF are available as concentrate then I will use it, even if it costs $20-25 a gallon because coolant doesn't needed to change for 4-5 years.
Well as said, ZAF and Asian OEM's including Honda Type 2, Toyota Super Long Life (pink), and the new Nissan Long Life (blue) AF are currently only available as a premix, so your point appears moot at this time.
And PGL is an extended life* OAT like which would also make it rated to 5 years, I said ~4 years as a conservative estimate. The full strength Toyota Long Life red it replaced is only rated ~2 years. And I picked the PGL up at Napa for $15.50/gal. I'm confident that FS PGL could do the same as the Asian oem AF's. *Note I call PGL extended life so as not confuse it with Peak Long Life which unlike PGL contains 2eha and is thus a universal Dexclone.
When I first joined the site Bill in Utah was looking for an AF he was comfortable using in all his vehicles, he chose PGL. Being a full strength no silicate AF, not containing 2eha and extended life to 5 years were among the reasons. I finally got around to using it.
