(And they're apparently Canadian as well!) I guess I don't feel too bad
about it, then. I did some looking, and this was what they sold me:

Before they changed the oil, they ran some of this through:

The bottle looked different, but I'm pretty sure that's the stuff. Good
to know I'm supporting an "Ideal profit booster for oil change centers."

I'm pretty sure it has. I'll have to check when I get home, but I think
it's probably more like three years.

Well, if pure glycol doesn't transfer heat as well as a 50-50 mixture, I
can't imagine that's helping matters any. Maybe I should get the whole
system (including the heater core) flushed out and re-filled at the same
time.
