Don't mix the green with the dexcool , just flush as much out as you can, then use the safe for all antifreeze coolant to fill it back up with and make sure you bleed the air out as much as you can.

There is nothing wrong with Dexcool, only people who DON'T know how to properly use it.

Never put tap water in it. Use the pre-mix 50/50.

Dexcool has a better heat transfer coefficent than the "green" stuff.

I've never had a problem. Check out my site where I have tech papers of Dexcool.

I use regular Prestone as well. I'll never go back to Dexcool. I recommend you do the same.

My car never gets above 180* even on the hottest days here in Florida even when Im racing at the track all afternoon. Green antifreeze FTW.
