I'm a cheapskate....I definitely never buy the pre-diluted stuff because it is way more expensive than mixing yourself. :)

I'd consider using Mercedes Benz coolant. I was told that the car will run a little cooler with the MB coolant and in my experience I concur.

Interesting, Matt. I'll check that out!

I'm a fan of most Amsoil products I've used, but I've never used their coolant. Anyone with experience?

 

Also, it hasn't been mentioned here, but in your aluminum block/heads ensure you're using distilled water, not water from the sink/hose.

Ah, yes. That I did know. But I'm probably going to end up buying the pre-diluted stuff from O'Reilly (which is diluted with distilled H2O), so I don't need an extra trip to the grocery store for distilled water! :)
