hi all,

I want to replace the antifreeze in my 2002 chevy tahoe, and the temperature where I live easily exceeds 50c (122 F) in the summer, and never gets below freezing point in winter. So I need an antifreeze that would help the engine run cooler, any recommendations?

I would think that most top quality ones would be the same! I would be doing a solid cleaning of the radiator fins to help out also. Might want to check out http://www.redlineoil.com/products_coolant.asp

It is biodegradable and requires no special disposal costs or procedures in most areas. Above all, its low toxicity limits the threat to children, pets or wildlife.
