Napa sells the Zerex Gl05 Gold coolant which is the same as the ford stuff. It is about $10 a gallon. That has been the only place other than the dealer I have been able to find it

I agree, $10.99 + tx. @ Napa. Concentrate or 50/50. Same price for either.

Ok... and maybe true.

But this is why it is important to develop a relationship with one's dealer and always ask for a discount... and know what the competitive pricing is for various parts and services.

Never hesitate to ask for the parts manager or some other manager person... just be polite and show your research.

I paid $335 for new front 4X4 hubs due to searching the internet and showing what "other Ford dealers" were selling parts for on the internet (my dealer wanted $400.

I asked for a cheaper price on coolant and got it.

Wally worlds in my area do not sell the Zerex GO-5, only the regular Zerex. I'll have to check NAPA out.

I am often amazed by the misinformation I get when I stop at a chain parts store, know exactly what I want and why, and then have the sales associate try to sell me something else that costs less. They often quote that "the computer says this". I bought and drive a very expensive truck, why would I want to save a few dollars and use garbage parts? Occasionally I get an associate that knows what their talking about, but that is on a very rare occasion.
