Agreed but assuming it's a GM that came with Dexcool, its still the latest stuff for GM.for older cars I believe in using the new improved stuff.
And Cor-Guard(“regular” and Platinum) layers on the 2-EHA/sebacate OAT base found in Dex-Cool/Dex-Clone(any AMAM coolant that isn’t Prestone or Peak) with phosphate.There's nothing wrong with Dexcool in a properly maintained cooling system.
And if the vehicle came with Dexcool from the factory.There's nothing wrong with Dexcool in a properly maintained cooling system.
Are GM engine blocks & radiators something special that 'require' Dexcool?... Dexcool, its still the latest stuff for GM.
You can refill with Gatoraid if you wish, but Dexcool is readily available, cheap and one of the best coolants out there. If someone put green coolant in any later model GM car I was looking at, I'd think twice on what other service they skimped on before buying it.Early this year I bought a 2010 Traverse from a used car dealer. It had green coolant in it. As soon as I could get to it I drained the system, replaced the thermostat and gave it a thorough flush and refilled with Platinum.
Good. Report back in 2037.I used platinum in Toyota and it works perfect. When my avalanche needs a coolant replacement, I will fill w platinum
It had green coolant as in old school green coolant? Okay, that’s bad. Prestone Platinum I’d have no worries using it in just about anything that Prestone says it’s compatible with.Are GM engine blocks & radiators something special that 'require' Dexcool?
This is my point... When it's time for a flush n fill why not switch to the latest formulation?

Why?For any car that came with Dexcool, use Peak 10x
