Since he subject of antifreeze/coolants has come up recently a couple of times, I wanted to ask it anyone has had any experience with coolant extenders that claim to put off the need to change the old fluid. I know there is one put out by CAT as well as Final Charge. I even think I once saw one by Prestone.
Lin, I read where the extender is only used in the extended life antifreeze you are supposed to add it when the extended life antifreeze reaches 1/2 of it's pre charged life span I don't think it will do the green stuff any good lol,
Cummins sales it also for their designer color antifreeze
good luck
A lot of them claim to be extended life. I have mixed different brands like Prestone and Carquest's house brand (which may be the same). Both say extended life for 150k miles or five years. I am no where near either of those. Some brands claim several times that life span.
