What about that new New Prestone® All Makes All Models Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant? Claims to be cross compatable with all colors/kinds of coolants and safe for all engines including aluminum. 

I've been using GM Dexcool in my CGT for many years. Much cheaper than the Pentosin stuff. I did a complete power flush when switcing over (PO had normal green stuff in there). My car never overheats and in fact runs a tad cooler than most other CGTs I've seen (possibly due to the aux. radiator?).
