Black/grey tank antifreeze.

Is there any reason NOT to use Prestone car antifreeze in the drains leading up to and including either black or grey tank?

You would want to recover as much of the auto antifreeze as possible as the Ethylene Glycol is a hazardous waste. Wouldn't want it in a septic tank.

You will not be saving much money, highly toxic like crane man said.
It's not legal to pour automotive antifreeze down a drain, or on to the ground where it can contaminate ground water. it is very toxic to septic systems which are often found in campgrounds and state parks, basically not a good choice.
