dex-cool or traditional antifreeze

[BigRedAurora]

does anyone know for sure if the 95' aurora came from the factory with dex-cool or traditional green antifreeze ? what's better for these motors ? i also noticed prestone markets a antifreeze that can be mixed with all types of coolant.

there is a decal under the hood that has colored dots next to the fluids described...95 were green,traditional type..and 96 were pink dexcool brand long life anti freeze....dexcool seems to have quality issues in some of the other gm cars,take a look at a grand prix of that era to check out the messy coolant tank,other brands of long life coolant are available that chrysler uses that dont have the fallout problems related to dexcool ....after a complete flush you can put in either but never mix them they contaminate each other

Wel guy i know for sure 95 aurora comes with the green stuff but if i were u i would jus use the universal and call it a day cause theres nothin else to think bout when it comes to universal. I've been using it for bout two years and it works fine for me.
