Zerex G-05.

Re: Correct coolant alum rad.

Thanks, should it be 100% coolant or mixed with water?

50/50 with distilled water.

50/50 with distilled water.

I agree...............but G-05 is now also sold as pre-mixed, so no additional water is necessary. Be sure you know the type you are buying.

The above message was learned from personal experience.

Would the zerex g-05 work in a brass/metal rad?

Works in almost anything. The only thing that I would have reservations about using it in would be HD diesel engines.

Dick:

According to their printed technical information, Zerex G-05 contains the heavy duty additive package needed for diesel engines. (Cummins and Ford are specifically mentioned as approved and endorsed).

Anyone know a major retailer that carries Zerex? I went to a couple local FLAPS and they did not have it. Thanks

Re: Correct coolant alum rad.

Autozone, Advance, NAPA, Carquest, Wally World all have it here

Agree with Dick (yet again).

I buy mine from NAPA.

EDIT: The light green or golden Prestone antifreeze is also very good. Use it if Zerex G-05 cannot be obtained. Also G-05 is sold by both MOPAR and FORD under their own labels. I can also provide these part numbers if all else fails.

California MUST have something similar to use.

Larry,

I'm pretty sure you can get Zerex G-05 on Amazon.com, either the concentrate or 50/50 pre-diluted, and if the total is over $25, it will ship right to your house for free.
