Dex-Cool Settlement
Just saw this on my local consumer reporters web page about a settlement regarding Dex-Cool

Interesting.
So what are we supposed to be using now in cars originally calling for Dex-Cool?
Should I run out right now and drain the old Dex-Cool from my `96 Monte Carlo and replace with something else?
I've noticed in the coolant overflow tank that the Dex-Cool tends to get thick and "muddy" after a while. No problems with car at all in over 110k miles and 12 years though... think I only changed the coolant once or twice since new.

I've used Dex Cool in the Vette of course and other vehicles that didn't come with it. Never had a problem, and change it every 4 years.
I think air getting into the system is the big factor in it causing problems.

Guess I should ask the mods to move this to "Other Cars" although people who own C6's might possibly own those "Other Cars"
