Dood, I don't know where you're "coming from", but you are screwing
up. Peak is selling BS to sell you their antifreeze. Worse than the
phosphate issue is the silicate issue. Notice they don't say much
about silicates on the Peak site. European cars need low silicate as
well as low phosphate. It's incredible that you buy that "low mineral
content in the USA vs. Europe" crap from Peak. Water is different all
across the USA, as it is in Europe.

You can get a quality, low silicate, low phosphate coolant from
Valvoline for about $9/gallon. Why screw around challenging what the
engineers who built your car recommended when you can do it right
for $5/year ?
