Re: Which coolant?

Simple and quick.
The Gold mixed with a 50/50 water mix only gives 800ppm of nitrite. Bare min protection is 1.2-3.0 with 2.0 being ideal.
I fell for the "GOLD is the wonder coolant" too. I have run it for 20K and decided to test it. Sure enough it was 800ppm, way to low for me. I had to add the SCA, two bottles to bring it up to 2.0.
So don't think just because you bought the Gold you are good to go for another 50K, because this is simply not true. Others have tried to tell you the truth, there are way better coolants out there like the Fleetrite ELC it is good for 300K. If you still want to use the gold make sure you keep up with the nitrite level. If you want a coolant that you can trust is OK go with a ELC that is Cat EC-1 approved.
your choice just know what you are getting into!!!
