Coolant Change

I decided that it might be a good idea to change the coolant in my
car as it has not been changed in the 16 months that I have owned it
and maybe never! The car has 10,500 miles on it and it just seemed
like a good idea.
Anyway, I'm not located in an area where there is a service center
close by and I really didn't want to do it myself as I really don't
know what to do with the old stuff. Since the car is basically a
Volvo derivative, engine wise, I went to a local Volvo repair
center. They came out, stared at the car and told me that they do
not work on four cylinder cars! I explained that it was a six and
they asked me who did the modification and what kind of engine it now
had in it. So much for them as a possible vendor.
I went to the Jiffy Lube place and they said no problem, but they
wanted me to come back on a hot day because it would take "forever to
flush." I live in San Diego and the weather doesn't change much
so....I left with a feeling that I was not going to be able to have
them do it.
So much for trying to stimulate the local economy. Now, for my
question. I collect cars and one of my other cars, a Cadillac
Allante also has an aluminum engine and it requires special tablets
to be added to the mixture. Does the Delorean require any kind of
special tablets? If so, where do you get them?
