Surprised to hear Dex-Cool not available in some locations--Dex-Cool is a General Motors spec and is required in Saturns. Should at least be available at a GM dealer. It is same as Prestone Extended Life (silver bottle). There is no problem in mixing with other types except that the extended life feature goes away. Actual statement from Texaco is : "Compatible with conventional antifreeze. Dilution with conventional antifreeze will reduce extended life benefits. Texaco recommends that this product not be diluted by more than 10% with conventional coolants." Full specs at http://www.texaco.com/shared/products/havololant.html |
