Autobahn Blue anti-freeze needs a replacement

But my cardiologist and my family physician are also the same 60 miles
away.  One can combine trips...  :-)  Hmmmm...  That should probably be :-(

Then again, I'm not convinced that "the blue stuff" does any better job of
protecting my S6's engine that the cheap stuff from Wallie-Mart, only 9
miles away, (provided, of course, that the el-cheapo brand is labeled as
"phosphate free" and "safe for aluminum engines").  The main function of
antifreeze is to prevent engine damage caused by expansion of freezing
coolant.  A secondary function is to prevent rusting.  Aluminum doesn't
rust because it doesn't contain iron.  Are we again on another "oil of
snake" thread?
