2002 Cavalier 2.2ohv Coolant Choice??

[JasonC]

GF's coolant is due to be changed soon. Its been almost 5 years and about 45k since I put in this round of Dexcool and I was thinking of changing it to Peak Global Lifetime Antifreeze or should I stay with Dexcool? This Caviler has the old 2.2ohv 4 cylinder with around 110k on it.

Why not stick with what works? DexCool Just did the same on my buddies delivery beater, 02 sunfire sedan 2.2. Swapped out the thermostat too since it was 2 10mms.

I have same year/motor Cav. I just drain and fill every couple years-no problems with Dexcool.

Dexcool doesn't have any issues with this engine, I'd stick with it.

Dexcool in my Cavs. Nuff said.

agree with all the above my 98 2.2 loved dexcool, why mess with a good thing ?

Sounds like I should just stick with DC.

 

[daves87rs]

Yep....

2001 Cavalier, same engine, about 110K trouble free miles. Never have had any problems with the coolant.
Along the way it's had a couple of maintenance flushes/refills with DC. Recently the water pump started leaking out of the bearing, when I replaced it I just topped off with DC.
