It's also a FACT that lots of people run dexcool and have had no problems, and based on their experience with ONE OR TWO VEHICLES, they see no reason to change. Of course, those of us who have experience with HUNDREDS of vehicles know better.
I'm telling you- go down to the local used car lot. Check 10 GM vehicles with 90k+ miles. In my experience, you'll find AT LEAST three cases of DexSludge within that sample.
Now do the same with Ford, Mopar, or Mercedes vehicles that came with G05. Please post any pictures that you find of G05 sludge. You won't find any.
You know - you keep repeating the same old tired stuff (another word comes to mind here). I'm not going to rehash all of it. Been there done that.
I've stated over and over that my experience is more than "ONE OR TWO VEHICLES" If my almost 60 years of driving, I've seen more than a couple of vehicles, and after working in the automotive industry for a couple of those decades I think I know what is happening.
GM had a lot of problems - YES that's true. But to blame it all on Dexcool is at the very least near sighted, probably more like ignorant and extremely opinionated!
You seem to think that anyone that doesn't agree with you doesn't know what they are talking about.
There is soooo much misinformation and prejudice about certain things on the internet - it's sad that people mindlessly spout it over and over!
