Can't even find the orange stuff in Florida. (Rated to -20 iirc) Which sucks. If I wanted to go North I'd have to somehow get better antifreeze before I attempted to drive anywhere. Plus, we have had a couple sub 20 degree days recently. All I have is the regular antifreeze. |

I find it hard to believe you can't get standard green in Florida. I had all the same anti freeze in Hawaii as I have here in Washington.

Probably o2 sensor. Be sure to get a denso. I've had bad luck with others |

another installment in this adventure.... My girlfriend was driving to work (again) and got hit in the driver's side fender/bumper at near 20 mph (this was in a parking lot). She was at a full stop waiting behind a vehicle who went in reverse and hit her; Now it won't start -_- are there any important electronics in that area that I need to investigate tomorrow? |

No electronics but that is the timing belt side. |

I jumped it, started right up. How could an impact kill my battery?

Could have shaken the plates in the battery causing an internal current drain |

We have standard green antifreeze, which is good to 20 degrees. But Florida dropped awfully close to that recently. I can't find the orange antifreeze which is rated to -20 degrees. That's what I said, not that I can't find antifreeze. |

I will say that side does have important grounds. The valve cover has a ground that mounts to the upper portion of the bumper/radiator support. It shouldn't have anything to do with the battery, but it could cause a no start issue if it is torn. |

Standard green is good to -34 when mixed 50/50. |

Maybe I'm just lost. I was just basing this off what I remember reading on the bottle.
