Type of Antifreeze

I found some fairly old bottles of peak antifreeze in my back shed. Unopened.
It's ethlene glycol.

Can I use it in my 93 cummins.?? It has a slow leak and I'm adding antifreeze quite a bit. So I thought I'd just use this unless I find out there is some newfangled stuff I'm supposed to use. Normally, I have always bought the "safe for all metals and all engines" type. But, don't want to throw this in the trash, and the 93 is the oldest vehicle I have.

Perfect! Just don't use propylene glycol based antifreeze.

You need to use a Low Silicate Antifreeze for diesel service.
