Perhaps I am one of the suckers on the list but I tend to switch over to
any new fangled stuff when I can. Especially if it is better for the
environment, claims to be better for the car, etc.
I switched to Sierra in all of my cars 2 years ago. Unfortunatly I'm
afraid it will take years to determine if there are any undue side
effects. I have noticed that the cars that typically ran hot are
running a little cooler. I havent had any problems so I suspect that it
works just as well as good old Prestone. I suspect that the car
companies just don;t feel they have enough data yet so they are taking
more time to decide.
