you only use Dexcool with Dexcool . if the container says GM APPROVED DEXCOOL then its the correct product.

also only use distilled water .. do not use any drinking water/well water etc... the engines made today use metals that react to the impurities of the water causing the corrosion very expensive costs which are unnecessary.

I use 65% Dexcool 35% distilled. this provides long protection from corrosion .
many owners down in warm climates use too little antifreeze coolant this is not just for freezing but for corrosion control and that is why many in those regions do have corrosion problems.

you buy the 100% product much cheaper. distilled water is $1gallon..
