I'm using an aluminum Radiator in my 408 stroker and someone mentioned I should use the orange anti freeze in it rather then the green...Thoughts?
FIFYZerex G0-5 for aluminum. It's made for it...the green stuff isn't.
I know they say to change antifreeze some. I have never changed it in anything, from farm tractors to hemi`s, and have never had a problem . If it`s dirty or rusty, I`d change it, don`t remember any of that. wehen I have to add antifreeze for winter, I use the stuff that will mix w/ either one, and usuall keep it 25-40 below for protection around here. "a little overkill ".GO-5 is what Chrysler specs, and it's great stuff, and RRR nails it. ANY antifreeze will eat your stuff if you don't change it every couple years
The key is not leaving it in there too long, regardless of color.
thats what she saidThe key is not leaving it in there too long, regardless of color.
Same here, never had a problem w/ it . Same stuff is in my 15 yr olds dodge ram that it came w/, only had to add the universal stuff a couple times when new. And yes, it still looks clean.Many years ago I couldn't afford antifreeze, and the worst fear was opening the cap on a radiator and it looking like tomato soup! There is no way I would BUY Dex Cool that looks like tomato soup already, and pour it in my radiator. I've had nothing but great results using Prestone ethylene glycol and distilled water at 50/50 mix. I'm 62 now so I can't see changing anything at this late stage of the game.
