Anyone know about Prestone DexCool

Anyone have experience with (so called GM approved) Prestone DexCool? I'm looking to change fluids and our local AutoZone had this brand of DexCool.

Dexcool

I used it when I changed out my thermostat. I only had in in the car for a short time(3,000 miles) when A&A did a H/C package.

I put it in mine when I changed the last time. I trust a name like Prestone...they've been around forever.

dex cool

We use it all the time, dex-cool orange in color is a five year anti-freeze
unlike the green aka ethlene glyco which is a 2 year.

Prsetone is an old name brand and I've used it for years. If the bottle says it meets the GM Dexcool standard, it will work fine.

The Texaco Havoline Dex-Cool will work too.

Prestone is a good brand of antifreeze. You shouldn't have any problems with it.
