I've been using a 50/50 mix that is aluminum friendly. Prestone is what I bought two years ago. It is time to change it out again but am waiting for the weather to cool off.

Allegedly, they only make aluminum-compatible mixtures anymore. It is easier to buy the pre-mixed stuff. Just pour it in, and done. Cheers!

I agree. I had to read several labels on several brands. I remember in the past they said safe for aluminum. Now they don't say anything. However I bought the Prestone because it is what I used before without issue.
