- I have never seen anyone categorically state that antifreeze definitely loses
- its anti-corrosion ability with age. I make the point that if it does lose its
- anti-corrosion ability then this is due to planned obsolescence, i.e. the
- antifreeze manufacturers could use an anti-corrosive that lasts forever (such
- as sodium chromate) if they want to.
