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.

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.

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