 Topic: Zerex AntifreezePosted: 10 December 2005 at 6:30pm |

I have looked high and low for some Zerex Antifreeze, Heavy Duty, White Bottle. I have looked at Advance Auto, Autozone, Oriellys, Walmart. They show it on the Valoline/Zerex web page, but I can't find it anywhere. http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/product_detail.asp?p roduct=8 That's what I have in my truck and I would like to replace it with the same thing.

Put your zip into the search bar on the lower left and click on the arrow. It shows a bunch of *supposed* suppliers in the area, including the stores you mentioned.
Looks like you may have to order it from one of them. Al |

*supposed* is right. Most of those places I have already tried. But I'm going to give the others a call this week. I thought Zerex was a common brand. I wonder what happened to them? Brad |

Jeez! I'm reading about antifreeze over at the Dieselstop.com site and I've got a headache! I've never seen so many "experts" disagree about what antifreeze to use. Gold, green, SCA, ELC CAT-3, DCA, blah, blah, blah.
BTW, do you have a coolant filter on yours? I've got one on my Dodge as does Doc on his PSD. I plan to move it over to my PSD when I get it, except I'll use the filters that are precharged with the SCA stuff. Al |

I tried to read all that stuff a couple of days ago and finally gave up. That forum is not what it used to be when Jason started it. It has become a magnet for whyners and people looking for an argument/debate. Up untill the gold antifreeze came out, Zerex (Heavy Duty, white bottle) and FW-15/16 was considered plenty good for a 2001 PSD. That's what I've always used and I just want to keep using it.....if I could find it. Two years ago, Walmart and Autozone had it. I also use the DCA test strips, but I don't have a coolant filter.Brad |

I want to say that the AutoZone in Madison caries it. That is the brand that I use and I have gotten it there many times...

You mean the Hughes Rd. Autozone or the Hwy 72 Advance Auto? They are about a block to each other, but the AZ is on Hughes Rd. Thanks, Al

I tried the Autozone on Govenors Dr. No luck. The guy there said Autozone does carry Zerex any more and he doesn't know anyone that does. Zerex used to be a major brand, I wonder what happened to them? Brad |

Maybe Prestone had more advertising. You would think a company as big as Ashland Oil (Valvoline) would do a better job of promoting the Zerex products. They spend quite a bit promoting Valvoline, sponsoring a NASCAR team.
