NAPA has full strength G-05 on sale ~$13

I need to do the truck and 1 SD so was pleasantly surprised to find full strength G-05 for $12.99 at NAPA.

I'm thinking it is getting phased out for the next generation blue stuff. My local NAPA had the new blue coolant (don't remember number) for $20/gallon.

NAPA is selling a G48 coolant and also another bottle called Cummins blue coolant. I thought Cummins used G48

Even the blue has been replaced at this point, at least it has been by MB....both my newer MB's run the magic Pink G-40 stuff...costs about the same though....I got a jug of pre-mixed 50/50 for about $15

I’m still running g-05, and stores by me stock it just fine.

Long ago I reviewed the glysantin chemistries, and g-05/48 are nearly identical. Not sure about others like this pink stuff is that the same as what VW uses? IIRC, different VW pink coolants arent always compatible.

But I just don’t see g-05/48 going away.

$13 for full strength is a good deal...

Still using generic green coolant. Still waiting for a coolant related problem.

$12.99 monthly special for me. Maybe you need to pick your local store first?

I changed to a store in Tulsa (about 50 miles away) and it shows the $12.99. Might have to pickup a few cases as that is slightly cheaper after tax than zoro.
