Which Antifreeze to use?

[Aaron Jongbloedt]

On most of my vehicles (ones that aren't running G12).  I run Sierra
Environmentally friendly formula.  Knock on wood, I haven't had any issues.
I am told that basically any Phosphate free formula that says safe for
aluminum and you are fine.  

No matter what you use, flush it good.  I like to fill it up w/ water, run
it for a bit, drain it, fill it w/ water again, drive it for a day, drain
it, then use 50/50.

Subject: Which Antifreeze to use?

Hi all:
 
I will be replacing the radiator in my '87 VW QSW since the one on the car
is about 30-40% clogged and developed a leak upon doing an extended period
flush with CLR.
 
At over $273 for a new radiator from the cheapest place (AutohausAZ.com), I
want to make sure to use the right combination of coolant and distilled
water to prevent clogging as much as possible.
 
So what is your collective advised on the matter?
 
A lis in another forum indicated that the Blue Antifreeze previously sold at
VW/Audi dealerships has been discontinued. Does anyone know if this
Penstosin (although not cheap)  Blue Antifreeze is similar to the
discontinued stuff?

I last used Zerex G05 (pink stuff) and previously used Prestone (found to be
crappiest and worst of all antifreeze).
 
Thanks in advance for your value insight.
 
Best Regards,
