My recommendation?  RTFL.  (Read the Fine Label) If it says "phosphate
free" or "Safe for all engines" or "Safe for aluminum engines" then it is
safe for your aluminum engine.  Get the cheap one and use it according to
the label instructions.  If you are changing brands then a flush/fill is
appropriate.
