Thanks, Fred. I had a chat with the folks at the shop where my head gasket is currently being replaced <sigh> There is some difference of opionion between Toyota/Japanese Mfrs and the Euro Mfgrs. Toyota seems less concerned about phospates but inisits on low silicates while Euto wants minimal phosphates and doesn't care as much about silicates. They stock BMW and Mercedes brands, but suggested looking for the proper (low phosphate) Zerex or Quaker State at AutoZone/ whatever ...and thanks to your missive (and those of others), I will know a little better exactly what to look for.
