The alochol/water mixture makes it corrosive, not enough alcohol usually. that's why i buy the full gallon, take an empty prestone container pour half in there and fill both with water. done.

Would you tell where I can find green prestone? In many years looking at the stores I have found yellow and orange prestone only.

Years ago there was just ethylene glycol antifreeze and it was green/yellow.

Now days there are so many (*$#^@(#*& choices and warnings not to mix them. Arrrrgggggghhhh.

If you have the green stuff in now... it's about 95% the same as the Prestone stuff. I worked at a Mitsu dealer... the techs would always top off/replace with Prestone unless the customer specifically asked for the DiaQueen.

And also, the DiaQueen we stocked on the shelves was 4year/100,000miles.

new prestone i by is always green. i have 4 gallons of it sitting in my shed right now lol. i buy the 100% antifreeze, if you are in an area that never goes below -15 you can do 30/70 and make 3 gallons for a little more than the price of one.
