Ford Explorer: OT: Antifreeze/Coolant Shelf-Life?

OT: Antifreeze/Coolant Shelf-Life?
First off, I apologize for the slightly off topic question... I have a
case of Prestone Antifreeze/Coolant that I estimate to be between ten
(10) and fifteen (15) years old, and would like to know the shelf-life
of this product?
The antifreeze is on a basement shelf in retail sealed gallon containers
and has always been kept in a clean, cool, and dry environment. Is this
coolent safe to use in my Explorer or should I have it recycled?
Thank you,
Steven

Your coolant should be in grand shape, Steven.... it hasn't been subject to
conditions that would alter it's Ph nor has it been subject to the 'normal'
electrolysis that we see in cooling systems. I can foresee no problems from
using the product.

I'd be worried that it won't meet the current Ford specification for
coolant. If it meet the Ford specifications, it will be just fine.

Seems like it's not worth taking a chance for the price of a couple
gallons of anti-freeze. I would get rid of the old anti-freeze and
use new stuff myself.
