Question:
Our hot rods came from the factory with green eth/glycol coolant in them.
This coolant is supposed to be replaced every 2 years, and PH is critical to maintain so that it's not eating gaskets.
Since this time, the orange coolant has come out and GM is using it in the factory. It is supposed to be good for 5 years. I've been using it in my Ranger 4X4 with really good results for quite a while now. I've heard GM is using it to eliminate gasket issues when sealing cast iron to aluminum, which would be a similar issue with our cars.
Is anyone using the Dex-Cool, and if so have they noticed an improvement of any kind?
I'm doing a complete cooling system overhaul this winter as my 90 still has all OEM on it, including the hoses!
I was going to pop for a new rad, T-stat, hoses, water pump, flush the heater core and put the 5 year coolant in it.
