Spider mites (Class Arachnida) are tiny sap-sucking plant pests. They attack the underside of leaves and suck the vigor from the plant; with large infestations they may even kill a plant. As soon as you spot an infestation, it's time to take charge and get rid of them!
Back in the day, no matter which brand you chose, antifreeze was green. The glycol-based formula contained silicates as corrosion inhibitors. You mixed the antifreeze 50/50 with water and poured it in the radiator. As the engine operated, the antifreeze performed its primary duties of carrying heat to the radiator, preventing freezing (hence the name) and protecting against corrosion in the cooling system.
Five years is not forever. Once the OAT or HOAT additives in the antifreeze have been used up, electrolytic corrosion can start attacking the engine, radiator, heater core and other cooling system components. Q. What type of antifreeze should I use when I change my coolant? A. Use an antifreeze that meets the OEM coolant specification requirements if your vehicle if it is still under warranty (and that includes extended powertrain warranties, too).
