Polaris anti-freeze is equal to the performance of any major brand. The only thing I was be cautious about is store brand 50/50 mixes as they are low bidder products with little to no quality control. I know some who bought a gallon of Super Tech 50-50 anti-freeze (Walmart) mix and when they went to use it after is was stored in the cold garage, it was frozen. So stick to quality brands and you will be good.
