Had to pour some coolant into the radiator this weekend in order to start driving again as some had leaked out (not sure how but a puddle under the car - will have to check further and watch the level). At any rate, I noted that the house brand coolant that I had said it was rated G-05. So, what makes the Zerex brand different than others? By the way, this stuff is not green, but essentially clear.

Of those with the green stuff, one was a '76 300D and another is the '81 240D - so yes, it is bad in the mostly iron engines as well. It used to be that the decreased frequency of changing the anti-freeze offset the increased cost almost exactly. I don't konw what the current prices are so - you get to figure that out. Snook - yes, that means that the 300D is heating up at over 90F outside with the air on -- -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK "The Americans will always do the right thing... after they've exhausted all the alternatives."
