	I would only put in exactly what the spec is from the car manufacturer. There are stories of corrosion issues when the long life stuff is used wrongly due to dissimilar metals that an engine designed for it doesn't have. No bad personal experience but I think, why take the risk, if it was designed for old fashioned antifreeze just use it and change it every couple of years. The coolant in my cars is always completely clean.
