The PROBLEM TODAY as I understand it is that antifroze is still mostly
ethylene glycol --> BUT <-- the additive package the makers use and
put in with the ethylene glycol before we buy it in the gallon container
is what makes the modern stuff today a problem with the older car cooling
system and PRACTICES.

our stuff stayed the same, but the game changed!!!!!
