Red or Green Antifreeze (1 Viewer)

When I flushed my block last year, I put Zerex red back in it. I got it on sale at NAPA, maybe $12 a gallon?

I have a small garage and two modern Toyota's, so only one type of coolant on my shelves!

And you can actually mix them if you have to.

Here in New Mexico, at least w.r.t. chile, that's called "Christmas". That's a common answer to New Mexico's official state question - "Red or green?"

Zerex (Valvoline) Original Green - The best Ethylene Glycol toxic-as-hell coolant still available and American made. NAPA carries it, as does Wally World, Amazon. Formula has changed recently to meet Federal guidelines for drain interval, but I still would cut the recommend change mileage in half, or more. Red is better if you have an Aluminum Radiator as its Chemistry is less conducive to Galvanic corrosion.

Always use the 50/50 if you don't have access to DI Water. Filtered Water is NOT Demineralized.

Don't lick your fingers.
