RE: What is the best coolant?

["Freed, David (Exchange)" <DFREED@bear.com>]

All Antifreeze is Etholine Glycol.  Prestone and some others add a
sealant to the mix but you can add that if you feel the need.  There is
no difference between different brands.  Buy the cheapest.  BMW does use
a diffent chemical for it's Antifreeze according to a BMW mechanic I
know but I've never verified the difference.  The color difference is
the choice of Dye the Distributor wants.
