Default Airbag (Air brake Anti-freeze) installed?

(Airbag Suspension) Got an automatic leveling system, instructions said to add 1/2 "Gunk" brand air brake anti freeze to the airbags. Pour it right into the airbag and check annually. Have you done this? The nipple on my front airbags are on the bottom, so when it deflates this "Gunk" would bleed out right? Or is this stuff pretty thick and would not pool at the bottom to even blow out? Thanks for the help guys.

LMAO A guy in Florida using airline antifreeze.
It is for trucks who use air brakes.
Bsgs don't freeze valves do which is why you have a water trap .

No, it is a guy in Florida asking a question about using airline anti freeze. AirLift Wireless air kit 72000, states in the directions (under a heading, IMPORTANT) to fill the bags up with a 1/2 cup of the gunk antifreeze. VWYNN, it was not snowing. This "gunk" will also prevent rust

Rust is caused by moisture , remove the moisture and reduce the rust . So get a water trap and that is all.
The wireless kit mentioned is a completely exposed system so it has no contact for any heat and can freeze easily. Never noticed a Lexus with a truck bed yet to worry about that . Which is exactly what the wireless system is designed for.
