RE: antifreeze problemo

According to Texaco (I think they are the patent holder), you can mix it,
but you will loose the "longevity" of the DEX cool.....(I did call their
consumer hot line).
Don't know about the phosphate, personally I switched to Evans cooling or
Sierra, no more red stuff..

Subject:	antifreeze problemo

My local idiot of dealer replaced the supposedly red coolant with green
one. Could someone tell me of green antifreeze contains phosphate or not?
I notice many domestic coolant manufacturers still lable their
phosphate-containing antifreeze "aluminum safe" -- and for now, this is
the excuse the dealer is using. When I talked to the parts guy, he said
yes, the OEM antifreeze is red (or pink, orange, whatever).

So who's right? Should I be worried? Is green=phosphate or not? Is it
aluminum safe? Is red=no phosphate? Can I mix green and red stuff?
