just change it once in a while, most people never flush their coolant and eventually it breaks down and eats the aluminum.

straight distilled water with redline's water wetter is supposed to have a higher boiling point than anti-freeze btw

Green. I've hear that the dexcool eats away at gaskets slowly. Not sure if its true or not, but i wouldnt take the chance. +1 on the redline water wetter stuff, supposed to be good.
