Bob,  if it's any help to you, I've been running the Sierra (sp?) "safety 
freeze" in both of mine, and it seems to be doing well.  I mixed it a 
little rich, since I live on the base of Mt. Hood, but it is phosphate 
free.  The other added bonus is that it is non-toxic should your sibes 
happen to exploring the garage.

Local price in Portland, OR was $5.88 a gallon.
