[Shop-talk] Dex-Cool

Use the Dex-Cool.  The problems occur when the level gets low and air gets
in the system.  I'll be changing a Chevy out soon too.

Hi guys,

I just replaced the cam belt and water pump on my wife's 2000 Saturn LW2
(3.0L DOHC, 24 valve V6). It was time (100K miles and the tensioner pulley
was getting noisy).


Anyway, I flushed and replaced the coolant with Dex-Cool and then Googled it
and saw all the complaints about Dex-Cool, so I thought I would tap the
collective wisdom of this esteemed group. 

If you were flushing a Dex-Cool equipped car, would you replace it with
Dex-Cool or go with the "green stuff?"  (I searched the archives and could
not find much there about it).

It is truly the work of the devil or are the problems caused by running low
levels, air oxidizing, mixing with regular coolant, etc.?

thanks,

doug
