    Do we have aluminum radiators?

    I may try some Purple Ice by Royal Purple as it worked well in my old Firebird, but whatever it's made of is bad for aluminum radiators. Does anyone know if there is aluminum in Panther radiators?

        who says it's bad for aluminum rads? EVERYTHING (almost) has aluminum radiators now days. I seriously doubt Royal Purple would shoot themselves in the foot that badly.

          I ran RedLine Water Wetter in the Tank when I was in the Mojave desert for two months.
          Then I drove across the country non-stop.
          But it is the Tank, after all.....

            Some of the reviews on Amazon mentioned it being bad for aluminum. I may try water wetter, though.

              actually it depends on what year car you own and if it still has the original radiator or not, 80s panthers were originally copper/brass. most all replacement radiators are now aluminum however(unless you search around for and "old school" replacement)

                  Spectra radiators are made in Canada at least for Tauruses - hope the same holds true for Panthers.
