Why do you want to use it?
How much is it per gallon?
Does it come premixed?
Where do you buy it?

Unless you are getting a rocking deal I would not bother. Coolant is one thing I'm not interested in doing extended drains with anymore. Now I just buy regular cheap premixed coolant from Walmart and flush it once a year.

Yup.
It's cheap insurance.

I've been an amsoil user since 1977, and a dealer since 1990....and I'd have to say that I would stand by any of their products. Having said that, they have the worlds most expensive anti-freeze.....$ 32.00 a gallon !!!!!!!!!!! and I'm not convinced that it's worth it. I believe that you would be just as well off to buy "normal" coolant and change it regularly for way less money ! they advertise a 250,000mi/7 year service life in light truck applications----------do ya REALLY want to go that long without changing it ? and remember it's still only propylene glycol .

On a D2, because of all our coolant issues, over a D1, I would say stay with Dexcool till Rover says otherwise. Now if you want to enhance your coolant then consider adding a bottle of either Water Wetter or Purple Ice from Royal Purple.
