Damn, I usually get dexcool for about 7 bucks a gallon. What vechile is this on, they really didnt start using that till mid 90's roughly

Tim, if you get full strength dexcool for 7 a gallon hook a brotha up!!

Did you mix it with tap water or distilled (or was it pre-0mixed 50/50)? I hear it doesn't like tap water, makes it gel.

Moving to engine forum...

Walmart has it for 8 something... i now use green though because my mechanic switched it over when i started having problems with leaks.

Tthe dexcool isnt really ment for the older motors, its better to run the green or something along those lines.
