What is wrong with Dex??
PANAVIA Steve What's wrong with Dex, Safer than Green for the country. Seals aluminum motors better than Green, Last more then twice as long. I have it in all my cars but 2. Both are over 100K on miles and don't like mixing the 2 different coolant togeather.
The only problems I found with Dex is, It can cause a chemical reaction with waterwetter and higher pressure in the radiator. Removing heat from the motor is about 5% less than green. This is a 50/50 mix for both. We are told that it's safer for the enviroment and the green stuff. Green does kill. Other issue is getting rid of the stuff, We are storing millions of gallons of the stuff and send millions more over to India. They clean it and sell it back to us. Orange can be freshen with a booster kit. So can the green, but still only half the life or orange. I have run dex and now have to run just water at some tracks with wetter due to cleanups and fines.
If I was running more on the street and long trips in the car with an ALL Aluminum motor Dex would be my first choice. Dex doesn't seam to eat aluminum as fast as green stuff either and in some motors that have intake gasket failure the dex seals the leak and extends the life of the motor where green doen't and in most cases means bearing wash from combo of green and water. Dex is about 10-15% better at having a motor last long with a coolant leak if you check. I see this all the time over the years. It depends on the application more IMO Steve. Rick L.
