IIRC the Napa heavy duty coolant with SCA/DCA (whichever) is made by the same company as Fleetcharge. Formulation was identical last I checked. Just a different color.

I figured if I am going to have to order it, I might as well save the 2% sales tax and get it from Amazon cheaper....

2%???? Is that all? I guess were getting screwed blind here in Illinois, locally around here its 7.25% and in Chi-Town its well over 10, I want to say 13%.

I think Its time to move...lol


Great info here guys, I found that stuff and will be ordering some. My coolant was just done not too long ago, I tested it and it said it was low, but not critical.

Can you get it to where you want it and just maintain it with the pre-charged filters? Or will they bring the level up?

Everything else is lookin good Richard!

Amazon charges state tax 6.1%... If I buy locally I get 8.1%.

So 2% savings. I actually ended up getting a lot from rockauto (no sales tax).

Between the 5% off you can always get at rock auto and some of the prices wew cheaper, it more than made up for shipping charges. You just have to select carefully.

yeah Richard, what these guys said. I was able to get it from napa, but it was 17 a gallon. I had to tell them fleet or for semi-trucks. then the guy was like "oh yeah, that". Are you a Prime member on Amazon? That price is really good if its free or very cheap shipping. I'd be willing to take 2 gallons of your hands for that price.

Yea... prime. but anything over $35 is free shipping anyway. As for the coolant price, Amazon has a new site that has some stuff in case quantity for cheaper (amazonsupply.com) that is how I got the prestone cheap.

Do they charge a hazardous materials fee for coolant if so bend over. If not this is a very good deal.
