Antifreeze what type?

Been needing to change antifreeze for a long time. The Ford stuff is like $26 a gallon which is a bit much. All antifreeze is speced for aluminum engines so is this just a snake oil scam of Ford's part?

We need to know what engine you have. PSD's have different coolant needs versus the gassers.

Is $100 (4 gallons of Motorcraft) really that much for something you only do every 100k or so?

Of all the coolant that could go into the Excursion, none of Motorcraft that I sell is close to $25 a gallon.

Zerex G05 is my choice for all my Ford needs. Diesels may be different though.
