There you go! That's more like it!

When you buy 'generic' antifreeze, it HAS to be able to mix with ALL other brands and types of coolants without causing any damage to various types of cooling systems. Why???

Ppl are lazy and stupid. Most ppl never change their coolant the whole time they own their vehicle. When the overflow bottle gets empty and/or the radiator overheats, they go to Wal-Mart and buy the cheapest crap [like Prestone] they can find. Then they go out in the parking lot and pour it in. The rest of the unused bottle sits in their trunk or in their garage for the next year or two. If their 'other' car runs out of coolant, they dump the remains in there, and so forth.

So, what are the two most important properties for any 'generic' antifreeze? They must have an extended shelf-life [contents don't seperate in the bottle] and they must be able to mix with all other brands and types of antifreeze; fluids designed for Jap cars, Euros, Domestics, whatever...

Make more sense now???
