Found lots of conflicting info on antifreeze. Have the 4.0 liter. What is the best/easiest to use as I need to help a friend on St. Croix and she does not have a lot of choice or ease of access to some of the more exotic choices we like to make.
Thanks
Dave

Hmmm, 'HELP NOW!" Yes, I can see the urgency here. St. Croix and antifreeze.
Use the orange stuff, or the green stuff, or water, but preferably not salt water.
The 4.0 ought to be using the orange juice.
I've never seen any significant difference in corrosion resistance of either, and since Orange is more expensive, have stayed with green, but Orange is purported to raise the boiling point a few degrees over green.
I should point out that if they are changing types to do a complete flush, as the two don't mix well.
