Okay, that's fine. Let's see what Bob Weber of The Chicago Tribune has to say about it:

Q. I have a 1990 Nissan, a 1995 Toyota and a 1999 Honda. I would like to use an extended-life antifreeze. The manufacturers' customer assistance people will not tell me whether the antifreeze is compatible. How does one know if you can use this type of antifreeze? J.C., Oakbrook Terrace

A. Don't use it. There have been numerous cooling-system problems reported by numerous automakers when extended-life coolants were used in engines that were not designed for it. Gaskets and seals can leak and so on. Stick with the stuff your car came with.

Your turn...
