My vehicle came with Dexcool antifreeze can I replace it with the regular green antifreeze?
Dexcool and many other specialty coolants [antifreeze] are not the same as the standard green coolants. Modern vehicles have a variety of metals in the cooling system and are designed to work best with the coolant supplied by the manufacturer. I always recommended replacing specialty coolants with the same coolant. AGCO uses nothing but pure distilled water, premixed with the proper coolant in out clients cooling systems. Tap water can contain a number of chemicals and minerals that may damage a cooling system. Many vehicles also have specific bleeding procedures to remove air from the system when serviced. Failure to properly bleed the system can result in overheating, and severe corrosion problems. Always consult a service manual and follow the procedure carefully if you decide to replace your own coolant [antifreeze]. See our Detailed Topic Dexcool, coolant and proper service for even more information.
