Green coolant....prestone extended life. Bill R is not using BMW blue in his old/new 535. Just when I'm getting religion about the blue, none other than Bill R, comes out for green Prestone and extended life at that.

What is the world coming to?

it came out in the green for virtually all of my customers cars that don't want to pay for OE stuff, this includes gm dexcool, ford gold, chrysler and mercedes gold, toyota red , haven't used it in any toyota pink ones yet , they are still new enough that they pay for the toyota stuff.... At any rate i haven't seen any problems with the new extended life green. Did see a few problems with the old prestone extended life orange, but this new all makes all models seems to work good....
To make a long story short I put it in the Poor Old 535 since the bmw stuff is getting way too pricey and the prestone stuff is available unmixed at walmart for 9.00 bucks a gallon, oops correction when its on sale, went there yesterday to stock up for customers cars and its up to 10, compared to 13.99 at autozone,checker,kragen etc etc....
I still have blue in my wifes e46 wagon and since i have 5 gallons of it still stocked I'll probably keep using blue in hers for a few years unless i put it in other peoples cars first.

I prefer to use the Zerex G-05... cost the same as Prestone but I believe the buffer quality of G-05 is much superior.
