antifreeze

okay so i am going to change my anti freeze before winter really hits and i found two different ones.
http://www.fleetchargeantifreeze.com/fleetchrg_spec.htm this one i can get a tractor supply

http://www.fleetchargeantifreeze.com/finalcharge.htm or this one i can get at the local walmart.
Both about the same price is there a difference between the two of them? any one have any experiance with either one. Also do the come prediluited or do i have to do that?

with the 1st one (conventional green).. The OAT-
dexacool types have been nothing but a problem

Get the First, but try to get the 50/50 so it is already diluted

I run Fleetcharge in mine.
The local Tractor Supply only carries the non diluted version, which needs to be mixed with water.
On the plus side, they sell it for almost the same price as NAPA charges for the 50/50 mix.

4 gallons of 100% and 4 gallons of distilled water or 8 gallons of 50/50 with no water added.
