it's ethylene glycol can be green or red or clear...but 50/50 mix with water is the designed formulae~ DO NOT use plain water...this is a recipe for disaster....drain intermediately and fill with the correct 50/50 mix.. okay...thanks for asking~
Yes i know not to put just water but i was looking to find out if mixing dex cool and the green stuff is alright?
Ethylene Glycol could never mix with Ethylene Glycol...they are the same~ water and you'll have Flint, Michigan all over again~
why not? they are the same material? the properties are identical~
Because Chevy said so. Remember Bob - 25 years in the car business backs up my answers - its not a crap shoot over here
Ok thanks so i will flush the system and do u know witch one i should be using?
GM VEHICLES HAVE BEEN USING DEXCOOL SINCE 1993 TO PRESENT DAY
