Antifreeze

What brand/type of antifreeze is recommended these days?
Depends on what your system is. Soldered copper radiator and heater cores will do best with 'conventional' anti-freeze. By 'conventional' I mean the traditional green with inorganic inhibitors. Hybrid inorganic acid technology (HOAT), often green-yellow, is compatible but generally not as good in protecting solder. They also take longer to become effective in making a corrosion resistant barrier.
