Any pros or cons?   steve herrod (Sherrod) Member Username: Sherrod Post Number: 46 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 08:26 am:    is it half the price of a gallon of coolant?   Ben (Roverguy) New Member Username: Roverguy Post Number: 35 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 01:07 pm:    It certainly should be, but I doubt it. Haven't really looked at any prices. I was just thinking it would be a lot less trouble than mixing. But, if it's the same price, or even more, what a joke.   Alan Bates (Alanb) Senior Member Username: Alanb Post Number: 269 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 07:43 pm:    It is alot less trouble than mixing, got it at walmart, don't know what the difference in cost was, but I don't think it was much. Maybe I am just lazy, but it is just one less thing to do. Not really any pros and cons, but probably less user error in mixing than if you mix your own. Its been in my 92 RR for about six months and is working great.   Roger M (Ciscowiz) Member Username: Ciscowiz Post Number: 72 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:33 am:    gal of super tech anti-freeze was $4.68 gal of 50/50 super tech mix was $3.48 Rog   Tim (Snowman) Senior Member Username: Snowman Post Number: 524 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 10:09 am:    I use to always question the cheaper anti-freeze versus Prestone or another name brand. But really how many plants could there be that process anti-freeze? In the end I put Super Tech in my everyday cars and Prestone in the Rover.   Ian Bentley (Ibentley) New Member Username: Ibentley Post Number: 8 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 06:26 pm:    I've been thinking of trying the stuff, I have a well with a high iron content, and filtering water can be a pain. Don't think I'd bother if the tap water didn't need work, though.   Alan Bates (Alanb) Senior Member Username: Alanb Post Number: 277 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:23 am:    If you mix it yourself, always use distilled water, not the spring water stuff, get them in gallon jugs at the grocery store.
