It seems as though this is becoming an increasingly difficult thing to find.
I need antifreeze for my MG(thanks to me draining the radiator prior to removal then being stupid about where I left the drain pan....)
This is a cast iron engine with a copper radiator. I really prefer to stick to plain old traditional green antifreeze-it's served the car well for 53 years now and even though it's more or less drained now I don't want to deal with having to actually flush and and make sure I'm not going to get potential incompatibilities or such. I have used Prestone green universal in the past and will if that's my best option, but I really like to just use the regular old standard stuff.
The last time I needed some, I'm pretty sure I bought Carquest branded from AAP, although I do have an actual Carquest store easily accessible to me.
Is that still my best choice, or alternatively what other good choices are out there for a traditional green antifreeze?
BTW, I don't drain/replace it on a schedule but some sort of repair(heater valve, thermostat, or front engine access) seems to have me draining it partially if not completely every year or two anyway so whatever I use stays reasonable fresh and I'm not overly concerned about service life for that reason.
