I'm guessing the pink "RV and Marine" antifreeze wouldn't be okay
to run in a closed cooling system with a radiator, but for just winterizing a boat motor it's okay isn't it? It says it won't hurt metal or plastic. Will it hurt gaskets or rings or anything? |

I used it for years when I lived in the North East with no problems. Given the choice I'd recommend spending a little more and buying the type rated at -100 degrees. My thinking is that even if it ends up getting diluted by residual/trapped water, you still have an extra margin of protection. |

Disconnect your " rad " hose ( if equipped ) and connect your Shop Vac set to blow to the end of the hose. Turn on the Vac for a couple minutes, and blow all the water out of the engine(s) . Works for me on my V 6. * Friends are priceless....Asswipe spoofres, USELESS * |
