I've been using old-style green coolant in my '97 MPV (3.0 l) and my son's '01 Protege (1.6 l).
I'm planning a coolant change for the Protege. Would there be any advantages in switching to something like Xerex Asian formula? Both owners' manuals are frustrating in that they simply specify 'ethylene glycol'.
(I'm using Mazda FL-22 in the '09 Mazda 5 as specified in the manual, but don't know whether it's backwards-compatible with older vehicles.)
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
