Default Re: Exact Antifreeze Brand

Well, I've seen/heard enough from many expert DIYs and pros to make a decision.
The weather here in the NW has been great lately so...
I'll be doing a bit of maintenance tomorrow and Dexcool is going back in. I think the green stuff would work fine too but the extra years of interval service is worth it to me. And I don't want to have to replace that expensive water pump again like in 98. I have seen and worked on at least 5 engines with blown head gaskets, non of which had Dexcool. At this point I think LT5 head gasket problems are unrelated. While Dexcool is more "environmentally" friendly that's not it. I am staying with it becase 11yrs of use and
I have no complaints. But then I followed Hib's recommendation on the flushing procedure so maybe I got all the old green crap out first, who knows.
