Prestone LowTox® Antifreeze/Coolant. Is it worth trying?
I bumped into this "environmentally friendly" coolant.

For many diyers and pet owners, why not switch to this? Unless it is significanly messing up auto's cooling system, I think it is good move to switch to this less toxic material. I already filled up my 97 runner with OEM coolant for recent t-belt change job. But next time, I may try this one. If it is good, then, I may switch coolant of all of my others cars also with this one... (non-toyota ones)

low tox af
Most Antifreeze/coolant makers will soon be adding a "bitterent" chemical that wll make drinking coolant by animals a thing of the past. I guess it makes it taste so bad that nothing will drink it.
Comin soon.

I wouldn't be to sure about that. Manufacturers have already been required by law to add denatonium benzoate in a handful of states for years now, but rather than just adding it to all their coolant sold (at what to them must be very cost-prohibitive 3 cents per gallon) they have chosen go out of their way and only add it to coolant sold in those states that require it . I seriously doubt this will be added to all coolant any time soon. I definitely hope you are right though.

Prestone used to be a subsidiary of First Brands owned by Union Carbide I think. It was purchased by Allied Signal in the Mid-early 90's. Allied Signal and Honeywell merged in 1996 or so. Prestone is part of Honeywell Transportation Systems. HTS includes Bendix and Jurid brake pads, FRAM filters, Prestone, Autolite Spark plugs, Garret Turbochargers and Holts Auto care products.

I've been using a nontoxic coolant for a year or 2 now. Evans waterless coolant. http://www.custommachiningusa.com/Evans_NPG+.html

That Dexcool thing was a bad deal. Toyota red's nothing like the Dexcool, though.
I've used Prestone Low-Tox for years. Works fine. As for animals, I've never allowed the opportunity for the accidental thing to happen. Just be smart.

Years ago I was told by my autoparts vendor that once the non-toxic antifreeze is introduced to the engine it is no longer considered non toxic .
As I was concerned with my sloppy pouring skills . I was more worried about the dog getting some of that so i used it for awhile .
Now pretty much buy the case of the green stuff that i can get cheaper.
I have been at antifreeze fill plants it is interesting how many different brands come out of the same bulk railroad tanker car. Filled in plastic gallon jugs and put in cases on a pallet.
