I prefer to use PG coolants because of my helpers. They're older now, so I'm not as worried that they'll slip a finger onto their faces before we finish up and get their hands washed, but we also have furry friend(s) to think of.
I happen to have a couple Hondas now, though (a pickup and a motorcycle), and they want a silicate-free coolant. I'm not convinced I really care about that part, but it would be nice if I could easily find a silicate-free PG.
Sierra and Prestone Low-Tox were both silicate-based coolants when I last talked with those two companies (maybe 3 or 4 years ago now?).

Anything new/different available now, or any suggestions?
Thanks.
 
Yes, Amsoil meets this.

Quote:
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant is formulated to provide benefits beyond those provided by today's conventional antifreeze and coolant products. This revolutionary formulation provides maximum antifreeze and cooling protection in extreme temperatures and operating conditions. Unlike conventional ethylene glycol-based products, which are acutely toxic, AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant is formulated with propylene glycol. It is biodegradable and its low toxicity limits the threat to children, pets and wildlife.

Lasts Longer
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant contains a proprietary polyorganic acid technology. It eliminates the need for supplemental coolant additives and recharging cooling systems. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant provides extended service life in all gasoline and diesel vehicles. It can be used for seven years or 250,000 miles in passenger cars, light-duty trucks, vans and recreational vehicles and seven years or 750,000 miles in over-the-road diesel trucks. It is also good for motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and closed marine applications.

Compatible With Other Fluids
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant is dyed neutral yellow and is compatible with all ethylene and propylene antifreeze and coolant formulations on the market, including DEX-COOL®, Sierra® and Zerex®. It is also compatible with fully formulated diesel antifreezes and other organic acid technology (OAT) and hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT) formulations.

Helps Stop Leaks
AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant adheres to metal. It self-seals hairline cracks in welds and seams to help prevent leaks without additional stop-leak products or fibrous materials.

Helps Prevent Metallic Corrosion
Independent tests reveal AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant surpasses standards for metallic corrosion. It plates metal to provide protection, even when exposed to acids and salt spray. Standard allowances for loss in aluminum and solder are less than 60 mg. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant lost 0 mg in aluminum and less than 6 mg in solder.

Standards for iron, steel, copper and brass allow a maximum loss of less than 20 mg. AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant never exceeded a 3 mg loss in any of those metals in a testing period that was run for 10 weeks, three weeks longer than required.

Been running Amsoil coolant for 20 years. Before their old formulation was not long life. But I wanted a PG coolant for the animals etc.
Been running their long life coolant for a fair number of years now, and am happy with it.

They are changing up the coolants a little since the last time I ordered some:

Yes it is and a great coolant if you don't want PG, since Peak is EG

OHHHHHH, i didn't understand the PG abbreviation until I googled it, not gonna lie, I hate txting or typing or reading abbreviations because that can cause confusion as there is not a set of rules for abbreviations, though can you can ballpark depending on the content of the scenario.
