I drained my rad anyway to do some cosmetic stuff in the nose cone. I think I'll take this opportunity to flush well in the spring and refill with the good ole stuff. Main issue with dex-cool is compatability with foam gasketing on the intake manifolds which our cards don't have(I own one of the susceptable engines). Still I don't want to risk in an old engine.

I know perfectly well what your saying when you say you have an engine that is "supposed" to be compatible to the new stuff. Use caution believing that, as a lot of GM buyers are still paying for damages in their "compatible" engines. The unique thing is, you can use the old green stuff in any engine that I've ever heard of. Proves that what is supposed to be better, isn't always better!
