The Napa Heavy Duty coolant is made by the same company as the Fleetcharge coolant. As far as I can tell the formulation is identical although it is different color. Since Fleetcharge isn't easy to find in my area thats what I'm going to use when the time comes.

Buy a couple extra filters. Even with a fill & flush change, crap will be left in the engine and cooling system. I went through 2 (plugged) filters in 2 months. On my 3rd now.
