Virtually every antifreeze on the market is ethylene glycol based. A few new ones use nontoxic propylene glycol, which is a slightly inferior coolant to ethylene glycol. Stay away from it unless you need to drink from your radiator (I have been told that the US Military is considering changing to propylene glycol in military vehicles to provide an emergency source of drinking water!). The only difference between the different brands of ethylene glycol is the additives.
Look for phosphate free and silicate free formulations. The extended life antifreezes (Prestone, Texaco, etc.) are all phosphate and silicate free. Check townsendimports.com for more info. They advocate Mercedes coolant, which is basically extended life antifreeze with pH buffers. Hope this helps.
