Just saw this at my local Walmart.. is this good to use?



Was $5.88 now $0.75

If it will work, that is an awesome find!

That's the right stuff, and a good price. Buy a several-year supply. I'm probably inefficient in how I use it, but I use about three gallons to winterize, including the freshwater system and the toilet.

I've never used that brand before but it says RV and boat. Geeze at that price I'd buy as many as I could store in my house. Doesn't go bad as far as I'm aware.

Depends

I wonder what exactly goes bad, especially if the jugs are sealed.

I got that deal a few years ago bought every one they had.

Well I go to the "Dark side" tomorrow.
Never had to winterize, so wasnt sure of the brand or even how many I would need yet.
So I picked up 4 May go back and get some more

2 or 3 should be plenty to winterize in a given year. I bought some a few weeks ago, diffrent brand but was marked down to a $. Wallmart is good with some camping stuff in the clearance section. I always walk through, winter time is the time to stock up on cheap beach blow ups for the lakes, and stuff like that.

Reading up in the differences in RV antifreeze is not a bad idea:

Winterization and RV Antifreeze

There are multiple types of RV non-toxic antifreeze being marketed today. Automotive antifreeze is not designed, or recommended, for seasonal cold storage protection. It is also toxic and will contaminate your water system. ETHANOL (alcohol) BASED – most readily available at most hardware and...

I only use the PG based stuff.

It don’t neccarry go bad. But it does expire. So it’s recommended. 1-4 shelf life. I usually go trough 3bottles to winterize my rv every year. So depending on how old the bottles are already would determine how many to buy at that discounted price

 

[Camping Party of 2]

They are new.. just end of season so marked down

So, what happens to it when it "expires"?


IMO, as long as it hasn't separated in the jug it is proably good to use regardless of what the expiration date says.

My guess
