Randy's right on this one. I was at a local dealer (Park Ave BMW in
Maywood, NJ) last week to pick up a stock order and some antifreeze. The
parts department (this is a BMW only dealership) stocks plenty of the Texaco
(phosphate free) product and only of few gallons of the more expensive BMW
labelled product. Apparently they are using the Texaco antifreeze on all of
their service vehicles (with BMW's blessings). SD
