Take all the guess work out of it Steve just buy the pre charged extend life antifreeze and forget it last 5 to 7 years the green stuff about 2 years max. I always used the green in my 92 series but it requires a lot of work to keep the system in balance and chemicals are expensive.
Jim (RV Safety) put his heart and soul into trying to explain the difference you should find his post somewhere on this board I don't all ways agree with him but he does do a lot of research on a topic not just hot air

The new stuff is easier I can tell you that for sure and you with a new radiator I would go that way JMO

good luck

Thanks, Mr. Luvrbus! Now excuse my ignorance: Is that the Prestone® brand?

Steve, read the jug it should read RP-329 type A that antifreeze meets DD requirements for 92 series.I don't have any idea about Prestone never used it
Detroit dealers have good prices on their brand most of the time FWIW

good luck
