Can you really use Supertech "all makes, all models" in any vehicle with good results? It claims 5 years/150,000 miles but is this stuff really the same as prestone? I was wondering if supertech will do any harm to a chrysler vehicle that says to use a "hoat" coolant, there is a redish coolant in there now.
Supertech all models coolant

I heard it is made by Prestone and dyed green. I personally wouldn't use it in a vehicle requiring G-05 or the old style green coolant. G-05 can be used in old style green cooling systems.
it is the same stuff that Advanced Auto Parts sells in their yellow jugs...Prestone yellow coolant; I just flushed and filled my 99 Subaru Forester and used the generically packaged Prestone coolant; I haven't seen any indications of problems
Agreed its the same stuff chemically made by prestone package differently, I used it on my Tundra after a full flush of the OEM coolant anyone switching should clear out all the old stuff.
All the cars I've switched over have called for the old-school green:
'98 Windstar, '96 Saturn, and two '94 SHO's.
Middle of the '96 year however, Saturn switched to Dex-cool with no modifications in the engine/cooling system.

I had the ST in a 98 beetle for about 2 or 3 years, but then it was totaled last month. So much for the needing to use VW G-12 coolant.
Used Prestone all make in my wife's 95 corolla for four years w/o problems.
I have it in my 2003 Saturn ION. I put it in last year with an equal amount of distilled water, and it works fine.
I'm replacing it anyway, because I just don't trust Dexcool to last that much longer than regular green.

I have ST in My "81 Chev Caprice" & "01 Alero" and both still look great after a year.
I have read on bitog that the supertech all models coolant is just generic dexcool.
It is the same, it just has the adaptive dye, so that it will match the factory coolant. Excellent for people who have both GM and Toyota cars in their garage.
What is adaptive dye?
The coolant comes out yellow, but after it touches any trace of factory coolant, it turns the same color as the factory coolant.
Pour it in a car that had orange coolant, and the stuff turns orange. Pour it in a car with red coolant, and the stuff turns red. Any color coolant will match as well.

Very interesting. I had no idea such a thing existed.
