Remember Valvoline's attack on Prestone in regards to their "All Makes, All Models" labeling on their coolant?
Its interesting how I found this statement on Zerex's new website today:
They also have this nifty little chart out now to show which Zerex Coolant to use. (Low-Silicate Conventional 5/100, DexCool, or G-05)
Anyways, Zerex's Conventional 5/100 low-silicate product caught my attention. Would this product be a good, less expensive, reliable, and proven coolant for use in all applications? It seems to provide nearly the same benefits as G-05, same or nearly the same drain interval, for possibly a lower cost and easier avaliability.
Perhaps I'll use this product when I flush my system again in 6 months to replace the Prestone All Makes/Models fluid that I currently have in there?
Here are the Zerex Coolant Charts for those who are unable to view them:
A few comments from me:
I thought some '99 Chryslers came with G-05; I recall G-Man II's 300M being factory filled with G-05 and not a green antifreeze.
In addition, why do the < 96 Imports require the G-05 and not the Traditional, low-silicate "Green" Antifreeze?

Aimed right at Prestone!quote:
There is no "one size fits all" chemistry that is approved for use in all vehicles. Don't take chances—use Zerex AutoMaker Approved Chemistry.
