Hi guys,

I just replaced the cam belt and water pump on my wife's 2000 Saturn LW2 (3.0L 
DOHC, 24 valve V6). It was time (100K miles and the tensioner pulley was 
getting noisy).


Anyway, I flushed and replaced the coolant with Dex-Cool and then Googled it 
and saw all the complaints about Dex-Cool, so I thought I would tap the 
collective wisdom of this esteemed group. 

If you were flushing a Dex-Cool equipped car, would you replace it with 
Dex-Cool or go with the "green stuff?"  (I searched the archives and could not 
find much there about it).

It is truly the work of the devil or are the problems caused by running low 
levels, air oxidizing, mixing with regular coolant, etc.?

thanks,

doug
