- As always, if you want to be totally confident, you can buy Autobahn
- brand and get robbed for $12-14 a gallon. Or, you can buy Zerex (made
- by BASF, another fine German company) that lists no phosphates and
- specifically claims to be safe for aluminium. Prestone doesn't make
- any claims either way, and neither does Texaco, to the best of my
- knowledge.
