Or you can use the new Prestone. It is advertised to mix with any coolant. I've use it with my green, and works just fine.

Who the hell is thepartsladi? Ive never heard of that. They might be right, but i wouldnt hold youre breath cause i bought one not long ago.

As STL94LT1 said there are coolants out there that can mix quite fine with both types

Thepartsladi is a seller on ebay, they sell corvette parts for a great price.
I got a gallon of dexcool at walmart today, so hopefully I can get this done less than 2 hours.
Also, why does the fsm say to remove the serpentine belt for?

Depends what they can and cant get i spose. I get all my parts from Colorado, my mate owns a workshop there.

The manual says to remove the belt cause you have to remove the belt. Its part of the job
