I use the green stuff too, its what every indie shop ive ever been to uses.. And that stuff about it being bad for aluminum doesnt make any sense. All modern engines are aluminum so why would they even make it anymore? that being said, if i ever did flush it myself i would use the recommended stuff.
good luck

The green stuff had other things in it that tend to pit aluminum due to the speed and force of the coolant as it leaves the water pump. I had a Honda Goldwing that required usage of distilled water and non phosphate coolant, due to the eroding of the aluminum. The GW was a '75. It is now living in Florida with a new owner, on the original WP, and no pitting of the aluminum under my watch.
