Anti Freeze Recommendations

OK...100,000 miles on my 2010 ST. Time to change the anti-freeze. What do you guys recommend I get?

Thanks

Prestone is a good name brand. You could get the premixed 50/50 blend or the straight stuff, and mix it yourself. How does it look after 100K miles?

Wow, you mean you haven't had to change it already due to a rad failure. That is unheard of.

Motorcraft Gold or Zerex G-05 are the only yellow colored coolants approved by Ford. Check NAPA or O'Reilly for the Zerex G-05.

Using the Prestone green stuff myself and noticed Home Depot (of all places) was least expensive. HD = $9.96/gallon in-store. About $4-$5 more per gallon at auto parts stores. Walmart was about $12/gallon.
