The difference between the yellow/orange antifreeze and the Dexcool (orange
juice) product is in the ad pack. The Dexcool uses an organic corrosion
inhibitor that if not contaminated by the yellow/orange antifreeze can last
a very long time. Dexcool starts out using the same ethylene glycol that
regular antifreeze uses, so efficiency isn't the issue.
