Use G05 (the newer formula used by Mopar and Ford). Flush the system thoroughly and use a 50/50 mix w/ distilled water. The G05 is good for 5 years.

What he said & 50/50 will protect you to -35 below that way as you add a bit of water here and there you'll still be good

I agree the universal is pretty much all we used at the shop.Only time we used anything else is when a customer requested it.Used the universal for at least 6 years and never any problems.It mixes with all types also.Rocky

And don't buy it pe-mixed.You are buying a half gallon of water and a half gallon of antifreeze.
Aound here the wash out price is about the same. Just using numbers but the premix is say 5.50gal. and the straight is 10.75gal. (using sale pricing) So you would be paying like .25 for the convenience.

Reason I mentioned is that I can buy Zerex around here for $7.35 a gallon.

On a BB if you pull the block drains you will get quite a bit of water out.Rocky

Just use green, cheap and easy, that is what is going in my 99 stratus 2.4 when I get this dang cyl head back on it. Better re-check your math on the 50-50 junk, around here is is about $10 gallon for straight and $7.50 for the pre mix, that means you are paying $2.50 for 1/2 gallon of water.
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

I don't post for fun. Have checked out the math more than once. Watch sales and buy when the price is right. I don't wait till I need things but buy in advance know that it will be needed at some point not too far down the road. I agree with your buying if that is as close as you can get but it is usually not that way where I am if you watch and buy right. At the present time the price is not right around here but a couple of weeks ago it was actually cheaper to buy the premix. That don't happen very often. As things would have it I have about 6 gallons of premix and a couple of pure on the shelf.

Dex Cool is totally different than the universal.Mix regular collant and Dex cool and you will have a mess.The universal will mix with any coolant.On the drain plugs for the block make sure you use a good 6 point.If they havent been out they are a bear.That and most times you pull them and nothing comes out till you stick a screwdriver in the hole.Then move fast or get a faceful of nasty stuff.Been there done that.Rocky
