I change out my Dex-Cool every 6 months regardless of mileage mixed 50/50 with distilled water. I love doing everything over kill. I also never take anything apart and put it back together without oiling the threads. Silicone grease on the plastic radiator drain plug.

I recently had my system flushed and replaced the DEX with universal green...it cools so much better after the flush so I cant say if the green cools better or not..but if my intake decides to start seeping i think the green will be easier to spot on the dipstick than the orange

The Dex Actually has better heat transfer than the green.... If you cracked a head or blew a head gasket you get Mayo... Wouldn't matter if it was Dex or Green

Tracy, I would definitely go with the Prestone Extended Life Dex-cool.
lol, That'* good Mac. I've never heard of engine failure due to fresh clean coolant. Keep up the good work.
