Aluminum heads are commonplace these days; any quality antifreeze will have=
the additives to protect aluminum. =20
But be sure to follow the recommended change intervals, as the additives do=
wear out with time, even if the car is never driven.
There is some debate over whether =E2=80=9CDexcool=E2=80=9D type antifreeze=
is good for old engines; I don=E2=80=99t know how much is true and how muc=
h is urban legend. But I don=E2=80=99t use it myself.
