MY MSP has the more typical green coolant, doesn't everyone's?mspdfreak said:If this needs to be moved, please do so. I thought this would be especially relevnt because of the alleged corrosive effects of dexcool on turbos. Apparantly, that orange coolant is pure s***. There is also a mazda tranny lawsuit, as well. Good info.

Well, I know of two GM owners who have had their engines replaced because of the dexcool problem, so it is not human error. One of the guys said the dealer at first refused to do the work, but was then shown the impending class action, and replaced the motor. We'll see how it goes, but GM ****** up big time. I just hope I was drunk when I read that an MSP owner used this s***!DAWIV said:The problem seems to be caused by not having the system filled to capacity, using the wrong type of cap, and not using the proper mixture. Dexcool type coolant will not maintain its properties if its mixed with the green stuff.
So if you use it, make sure that you fill the tank completely, fill the overflow bottle to the hot mark, and replace your cap every two years. Flush your tank well if you are going to be replacing the green stuff with this.
When I saw this thread yesterday, I said oh s***. I just replaced the radiator in my turbo Probe and added some Prestone Long Life ( which is orange) to it. I did some internet checking and saw a lot of stuff on GM trucks and cars. Human error is more likely the cause and not the product itself. You cannot just turn the key and go. You have to check things out periodically inorder to avoid major problems.
Hmm...something must have happened to get orange from the dealer...that's not stock. (But that doesn't mean it's dexcool, either.)wicked said:mine came from the dealer orange.
but it's water weter now
