Advantages: Does the job, nice packaging Disadvantages: none
...I bought this item as i was recommended this from a friend who said thatthis was a product that would be good to buy. In order to use it,one must mix it with water in order to get it to work properly and provide protection for your car. There are general guidelines on how much to use at the reverse of the bottle.
In terms of performance,it is difficult to comment on as i have not used other brands before however it does do what it says it will.
Other key points of information incude the following:
Maximum antifreeze coolant protection for over 50 years. The patented formula protects against corrosion of all cooling system metals, including aluminum, while providing maximum freeze-up and boil-over protection.

Advantages: Stops corrosion as well as preventing freezing. Disadvantages: Searches out leaks.
...Shell Dexcool is an antifreeze/coolant, this means it will replace the water in your cooling system, with a corrosion inhibiting liquid.
This particular type, is an extended life antifreeze. This means simply that you do not have to replace it for next winter. It is, as most are, ethylene glycol based, and is a universal automotive engine coolant. If you have ethyl based antifreeze in your sysatem, you must use a corrosion inhibitor, otherwise the fluid will turn acidic and corrode the pipework, this is why most makers add an inhibitor at the factory.
Instead of throwing away your coolant every year, or even at the end of every winter, DEX-COOL is suitable for a five years or a massive 150,000 mile service life in automotive applications. This has to be a big bonus for the greens.
It meets GM6277M-General Motor’s Extended Life...

Now winter is well on the way, it is time to get your engine protected. This will protect from frost, and also contains a corrosion inhibitor. The solution is ethyl glycol based.
Peak have been on the go for over 50 years now. They have their own web site - http://www.peakantifreeze.com/ Take a look, they sell a wide range of other products.
This peak anti-freeze can be bought in neat form, or ready to use, this is ideal for topping up. (if you top up with plain water, you will gradually dilute the mixture) You will find both types in gallon plastic cans, and smaller top up sizes. As for price, I will not even suggest what to pay, shop around for a wide selection of different prices.
You will need about a 50% mix of water & anti-freeze to protect engines in our average winter. The type of water used is normal tap water...
