READ THIS TOO
Paragraph 4 also states that you can mix it. But again, unless it's an emergency, why would you do that?

Wrong. By mixing the two, you are creating a chemical reaction that can cause SEVERE problems with the cooling system - from the radiator to the block and back.
Dex-cool is suppose to be this "wonder" anti-freeze/coolant. Silicate free, longer intervals between coolant changes, blah, blah, blah.
You encounter problems when the Dex-cool (cooling system) is exposed to air. The additives in the coolant begin to coagulate, clogging the passages in the system. (trust me, I've seen it) [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]
If you're running green, you're okay. You'll just have to maintain it more often (i.e., shorter intervals between changing the coolant).
If I was someone currently running Dex-cool... I'd change it now (or as soon as the warranty runs out). Have the radiator and block throughly flushed (generally with an acid wash). Then replace the coolant with green.
Save yourself the trouble, Dex-cool is NOT the "wonder" anti-freeze/coolant. It's actually junk. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Try discerning foreign rust-particles in an orange-colored median.
I only use the green stuff, and NO, you cannot mix the two. It'll turn almost caustic, and begin degrading your cooling system.<hr></blockquote>
The coolant is transparent. If I see anything floating around I would drain and fill, like I would in my previous car that uses conventional coolant.1999 Pewter Camaro M5<br />Y87 Performance Package, Sport Appearance Package, Diamond Clears<br />Factory SS Hood, Free Ram Air Mod, Whisper Lid w/ K&N Air Filter<br />CarSound Cat 94009, B&B Tri-Flo w/ Quad Tips<br />BMR SFC, BMR STB, KVR Blank Rotors, Hawk HPS Pads<br />Black Painted Calipers w/ CAMARO Decal, 245/50 Dunlop SP Sport 5000<br />20% Rear 35% Side Tint, Red Reflective Inlays, Invincishield<br /><b>Young girls avert their eyes, weak men tremble, Ford dealers faint.</b>Comment

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...2 weeks ago
