Prefer not to have some customer come to me in 6 months claiming that by my putting xyz brand coolant in his beloved pinto I caused the head gasket to fail and the rings to fail in his all original alusil block vega too...
Its much easier and safer for me to keep coolant on hand for all the goofy makes there are out there today, Ergo, volvo for volvos, bmw for bmw's mercedes for mercedes, chrysler for dodge, honda for hondas, toyota for toyota...dexcool for etc.... I'm even leaning away from the prestone extended life which is supposed to be dexcool compatible since I'm noticing more leak problems in cars I have put it in.... However the customer with the fine running 73 buick skylark with the mufflers held on with baling wire I will gladly use regular prestone or even autozone brand if thats what he prefers..
