    Did some searching on antifreeze here and all I came up with is prestone 50/50 is ok. Seems like an all aluminum engine should use a different coolant. What do you guys think?

    I just put Prestone 50/50 in my car. Just change the coolant every year or two and it'll be fine.

    Corvette engines have been aluminum for one or two decades. I am not sure what brand came in the 1986 Mondi I bought in 2013. However, I increased the glycol concentration to 60/40 [70/30 max] in order to increase boilling point and depressurize the intricate cooling system. Nine thousand miles later I have not sprung a leak or added one ounce.

    And I live at 2200 ft elevation. The engine only registers above 195F when it sits at idle and the fans come on.
