Lol. I don't mind spending the money. When I picked up the coolant fro lm the dealer the parts guy asked the service guy how much I would need. He said only 1 gal Of coolant and 1 gal Of water. He only sold me 1 gal Of coolant.

I remember going through a similar thought process when I did a coolant R/R at about 90K. I tried like heck to talk myself out of P car coolant. I finally bit the bullet and got the stuff from the dealer. My rational was this:

Buy autoparts coolant (Zerex extended life) for $20 x 3.
Buy P car coolant for $34 x 3.

At the end of the day, given the age of the car (and me!), I figured I'd most likely never have to do it again. So the extra $40 for the rest of my ownership sounded pretty cheap.

BTW, I R/R my WP at 128K miles. So much for my plan!
