Title: What antifreeze do you use in an aluminum radiator?
Post by: Blakcharger440 on September 16, 2007, 10:17:13 AM
Is there any special sort of antifreeze that is supposed to be used when running an aluminum radiator?

That is a good addition to my original question Bandit as I plan to change to aluminum heads in December....I already have an aluminum water pump.

I use Prestone 50/50 with my Eddy head 440. It says it is good for aluminum.
