Best coolant for aluminium?

Joe, because you have selected ALL - ALL for model/year, very few people see your post. Just those of us interested in, well, ALL, and ALL. Bump.

No one has the right answer here. Volvo will sell you their own mix. Or you can get pricey and find the Zerex G05 Glysantin stuff the upscale cars are using. I just drained 9+ year old Dexcool (the orange stuff) with no evidence of problems, but if you take the time to do a little searching on this board, you'll find loads of complaints about that. I put in whatever's on the shelf at Walmart. Might be Prestone, might be Super Tech for a buck less. No holes in my (car's) head.

Radiator tubes after 9 years 3 months and 80,000 miles of the Dreaded Dexcool. Refill with $10 Prestone.
