[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 892371, member: 277"] There are 101 correct answers to your question. IMO, just use any name brand coolant. For convenience try one of the 50/50 pre-mix coolants like Honda Premix or Prestone 50/50. FWIW: Dex-Cool is in the family of organic acid technology (OAT) and hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT). These acidic coolants are supposed to dissolve corrosion and extend the life of the coolant. In the real world they actually created damage and corrosion (leading to law suits). Some coolants like Dex-Cool are supposed to be an extended change coolant that (may have) caused damage the equivalent to corrosion in a short period of time. This was a BIG DEAL in my car club with Chevy LT-1 and LT-4 engines that experienced heavy corrosion and repeated plugging of radiator coolant tubes. [/QUOTE]
