Which Coolant
 
With spring coming up I'm going to need to change all my fluids and just do some general preventive maintance and I just want to make sure I'm using the correct type of coolant.

50/50 premix from prestone i think would be your best choice IMO

BAD LS1 03-10-2006 03:33 PM

50/50 of the ORANGE GM approved dexcool

you can even buy the stuff pre mixed for like 8 bucks a bottle... Cant go wrong!

I herd there was a class action lawsuit with that dexcool stuff...?

I know it used to eat gaskets on the grand ams

BAD LS1 03-10-2006 04:44 PM

well its what his car comes with... you can add green, and make brown mud LOL

I didnt hear about that though... intresting.

97z2801ss 03-10-2006 04:51 PM

a gooey brown at that man...

Mike Jones 03-10-2006 04:53 PM

I heard about that too Tony which is why I was asking if there was something better out now.

97z2801ss 03-10-2006 04:56 PM

Gm is still using Dex Cool and I cant find the article...

Ill get if i can later from my gfs bro..

the lawsuit has been thrownout from my understanding since everyone involved was not following directions. If you change you must flush teh system very well, I just use the all color and call it good (a GM service manager recomended it to me)

Yea i say dex cool thats definatly the way to go just dont mix it with the green stuff, i think prestone came out with a 50/50 that you can mix with anything it says it on the bottle that you can. the coolant is yellow in the bottle. But i never tryed it.

archemedes 03-10-2006 10:54 PM

the advance auto brand is an all color. I never buy pre mixed i hate throwing money away on someone elses water

Yea it is, same here also i mix my own. But the gay thing is we barley ever sell any sraight non mixed stuff everyones ****** lazy. Its a buck or two more for the non mixed and you get twice as much.

Same thing goes on at Oreillys. Everyone wants the stuff premixed I'm lucky my car uses the cheap green stuff. :D I have been considering just running stright water and just add 2 bottles of purple ice to the water.
