Some manufacturers warn to use phosphate-free antifreeze to prevent corrosion of
aluminum.  On a list for one of these makes it is an ongoing discussion whether
this is valid or bunk.  I am using that "Sierra" stuff in the vehicle I have 
that
is so specified and also in the TR.  Keeps its cool just fine in even the 
hottest
weather -- I don't know if it is as effective at preventing corrosion in our old
iron blocks & heads.
