I've heard that on later 900's, they came with some kind of antifreeze that is pink, I think. If you don't flush it really really good, the new green antifreeze reacts with it and corrodes your engine. I can't remember if it is limited to aluminum, or if it gets the block too. Either that or your mechanic is a money-grubbing jerk.
