All the information is verifiable.

Despite the promotional material the anti-freeze companies try any
publish. Several of them got into trouble with the Government
watchdogs for claiming 'Their' stuff was universal, when it was not!

I believe that modern system are meant to be SEALed up tight, NO
Air bubbles or gaps, unlike the systems in the 50's and 60's.
And that can be a problem if some of the modern formulations have
extra air in the system, that allows particulates to develop and
settle out, and that can hasten diminishing quality of today's
formulas.

Despite claims, I am on a 3 year replacement cycle even in the
Wifypoo's PT GT R/T. I have Seen the crude modern anti-freeze can
build up in systems too much to accept the 5 year cycle they are
claiming. Might be a tad over cautious but I'll take that that gamble.
Saw it with the 98 Sebring, saw it with FrankenTruck, And even in
the PT when it had to have the radiator replaced.
