what I'm getting at is corroded metal usually causes failures of the coolant system....the coolant type and frequency of replacement is for my knowledge...
It's red, so I'm assuming it's Dex-Cool. I have successfully changed my gaskets on my intake manifold. I went to pep boys just to verify and they add Dex-cool to most cars. Maybe they were lazy and didn't use 50/50 water/coolant. Thanks for the important gouge. I am going to ensure I have 50/50.
