NEW Prestone formula - phosphate free?

Is the new Prestone formula OK for our engines? It's the gold stuff that "mixes with any color". I picked this up and I'm not sure if it's good to use.

Thanks

Yup, phosphate free. It doesn't say on the bottle, so I checked with prestone. Worry not. It's nice because it's cheap and available everywhere.

Is it Ethelene Glycol or Propylene Glycol?

ethelene glycol.
Propylene glycol will almost always be labelled as 'low-tox'. It's more expensive, but it is far less toxic.
Either is actually fine, so long as it is phosphate free.
