So what am I missing? I am still confused on this.
Is all of this debate over saving $8 per gallon on anti-freeze?
How many gallons do you go through in say, 2 years?
Two?
So all of this debate and argument to save $8 per year?
Or double that? $16 per year?
It sounds like you are only arguing about this because non-MB anti-freeze is (literally) a few dollars cheaper.
But then you say "I don't care about the price."
Thus the confusion.
Are you saying the non-MB stuff is *better* than the MB approved stuff?
Because that would be an interesting argument that I'd like to hear more of.
But if your only point is to save $8 per gallon on anti-freeze that is not better, but only maybe equivalent, that is not very interesting. You may very well be right, but there ain't no way that I am going to move away from MB approved *anything* to save $8 per year.
