Coolant, Prestone Okay? 900 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Glen on  Mon Oct 29 03:32 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I just purchased a low miles (62,000) 95 940. I have never had a corrosion problem on my 240s (80, 82, 83)and 740s (87 and 91) using a 55% mix of Prestone. I understand that the radiators on the 940s have aluminum tubes but the 240s and 740s didn't. Is a 55% mix of Prestone changed every two years adequate for corrosion prevention? Thanks.

Prestone should be fine, but make sure you use distilled water for the make-up water. BTW: 740s use the OEM Blackstone aluminum-plastic radiators, same as 940.
