That's kind of a funny thing. I've used Prestone, Zerex, Texaco antifreeze in my vehicles forever and ever. A couple of years ago I replaced the antifreeze in a Deere and used one of them, I think Texaco. Had some problems with it running hot and nothing should ever run hot, especially a diesel. I went to the Deere guy and picked up a new thermostat and naturally they said "JD Cool-Gard" because nothing else meets their specs, so that's what I picked up. That's what I'm using in the Deeres and I'm not having a heating problem in the one, but I also changed the thermostat while I was at it. One thing they told me not to do was to flush the system unless was a last resort. I was going to but didn't on their recommendation. Now a month or so ago I changed the thermostat and antifreeze on my '96 Cummins Dodge and filled it with...Menards green stuff. We'll see if I killed it or not after winter. I needed antifreeze and they either had Prestone or Zerex, I couldn't figure out if it was pink or green, said could add to anything which I think you can't do with pink and green (mix), so the Menards brand said greeen and I've always used green, so green Menards it is. I guess I could have used JD Cool Gard since I have plenty of that, but its kind of gold and I didn't want to waste it. It sure costs more than the others.
