today's antifreeze is very much standardized. you go to any auto supplier buy the antifreeze which is on sale and follow the instruction will give you a new fill of antifreeze. WRONG! The following is quoted from Geno's Garage Tutorial: www.genosgarage.com The coolant requirements of Diesel engines are not the same as those of a typical gasoline-powered engine. The correct coolant for your Power Stroke Diesel is an ethylene glycol (EG) type antifreeze. Ford Premium Coolant is one appropriate ethylene glycol coolant. If you have to substitute use a coolant with Coolant Specifications: ESE-M97B44-AAlso: Coolant for your Power Stroke Diesel needs to be more than just ethylene glycol based. The coolants marketed to the general automotive world are blended with a higher concentration of silicates (for dissimilar metal protection). Antifreeze formulated specifically for Diesel engines should be a low-silicate type. Unquote Each time you buy a gallon of antifreeze you also need to buy a gallon of distilled water. Water that has minerals in it, or hard-water, should not be used because the minerals will lower the boiling point and increase corrosion in the system. To prevent corrision, I use distilled water in everything in my vehicle that requires water to be added. Battery, windheild washers, etc. You can usally buy it at Walmarts for fifty cents a gallon.
