Search is a pain, and I'm lazy.

what do you guys run for antifreeze?

TIA, Rick

Good ol' fashioned Prestone, mixed 50/50 with water. No need to get too exotic with this one, in my mind. I also started running a bottle of Redline Water Wetter, but my car always ran cool enough without it.

I'm sure I don't need to tell a good Canadian boy to not even think about just running straight water... :-)

aluminim safe and phosphate free

Prestone Dex-cool is phosphate free, that's what I always use and it's aluminum safe (i think that come with being phosphate free) I'm also a bit anal and use distilled water because tap water can crud things up.

Pre-blended from Porsche.

You wanted easy right?

If you want, throw in a bottle of water-wetter on the fillup.

Zerex extended life and distilled water. Napa sells it among others. It also says dexcool on the silver bottle.

You can really use any phosphate and silicate free coolant and distilled water. If you want expensive, go to the Toyota, Honda, VW etc. dealer and buy theirs.
