Oasis Fluid

I looked at the manual for the oasis and it said to use propylene glycol based fluid.
Can I use winterizing anti-freeze? I bought some at Walmart for $3.

NO NO NO!!!!
I think winterizing antifreeze is ONLY for the water system and drain traps. NOT for the engine!

I'm not asking about the engine anti-freeze. It's for the Oasis water heater

Short answer is NO. You should use the same fluid which the unit was filled with originally. In 2008 the it was a pink colored, but It was not the standard antifreeze used for winterizing the RV plumbing but a boiler fluid such as sold by Camco. Later years some RV manufacturers changed to a blue colored Rhogard. Neither fluid should be mixed with something else. Both fluids have anti-corrosion properties which prevents premature failure of aluminum components in the system
