2001 Buick LeSabre - Keep Dexcool or replace?

[JGmazda]

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before. I'm looking to get a recommendation on which coolant to use. Car has low miles (33K) and I've noticed the original Dexcool looks like it needs a change. I've been told the 2001 model year would still be affected by the Dexcool-gasket issues.

Soooo... I either will flush and refill with the OEM coolant or use another type. I use G-05 in my '94 Mazda and it's been great. It's also suggested that I use "green" coolant.

I wanted to get opinions before I make a choice. Knowing Dexcool could potentially cause issues... Thanks!

Green or G-05 would be my choice

G-05 is my recommendation.

I agree Green or G-05. I think Green is a little easier on the original problem IMG. On the other hand G-05 might have a slightly longer service life and since you are using G-05 in your other car it'd make since to go with G-05.

Sounds good. I think the G-05 will be the ticket. Thanks guys.
