the only thing companies carry around here is prestone antifreeze. does it matter that its going in a diesel powerstroke engine and not a gasser? i know ford says it has to have the wss-m97b51-a1 code on it to be compatible with parts that are inside of the engine so it doesnt cause premature engine failures or corrosion.
