The coolant has to be formulated to protect against corrosion for all of these different materials. That's why vehicle manufacturer’s recommend different types of anti-freeze for our Fort Wayne, IN, vehicles.
There are several different 'families' of anti-freeze available to us here in Fort Wayne. Your owner's manual will tell you what kind you should use. Of course, the automotive professionals at Tuffy Fort Wayne - Dupont Rd. will know the right kind for your vehicle.
