Anti-freeze
Here's a question to ponder with our car's. How often should anti-freeze be changed? In years past it was recommended to change every 2-3 years using the old green stuff. I still use that style. What should be done to maintain good quality freeze & anti-corrosion protection?

Change the Antifreeze every 2-3 years. use a tester to make sure mix is capable of handling -20. Long life antifreeze is not necessary, unless you want to use it (more $$)

I run the green and change it every water pump / teardown or hundred thousand mile mark whichever comes first.

Wow, 100,000 miles?!
As much as these cars sit (well, not NIXON's evidently!!), if you have the time and the budget, consider a full flush (including removing the block plugs) and new mixed fluid (the green stuff) every 3 years. ...cheap insurance in my book |

Matt I buy them to drive them you KNOW that. The green antifreeze is a LOT better stuff than the extended life stuff.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
