GM Coolant # for C5s
I want to be sure the dealer replaced the coolant with the right product for the aluminum block and heads. What GM Part would the proper coolant be.
Thanks,
Mike

A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and use only GM Goodwrench® DEX-COOL® or Havoline® DEX-COOL® (silicate-free) coolant.
From the service manual.

This is what the dealer put in the car. I don't usually trust them knowing what product to use for a Vette so I would just like to double check with the forum.
10138 DEX KIT
