Well I made it by the dealer saturday morning and said I needed some G11
blue coolant. The response I got was "We don't have any". I was a little
shocked, the guy said all 98 and up cars take the pink stuff. I said what
about the older cars? He said you could still order it if you wanted to, but
the dealers were no longer going to stock it.

He went to check in the back to make sure and a mechanic followed him back
with a half full oily bottle of blue coolant they said I could have. They
also had one last unopened bottle they sold me. They wanted over $20, but I
got him to give it to me at "cost" which they claimed to be $13.81, with tax
it was $14.72. So not too bad for 1.5 gallons of coolant, but it really
sucks if none of the dealers are going to carry it anymore.
