well here is my situation. 1 1/2 years ago, i had a shop install a new water pump and radiator, they flushed out the system and overflow tank(how well i dont know), and used dexcool. it's still orange, not brownish, so i think most if not all of the green stuff was flushed out. i had no idea that dexcool was so bad, my mechanic never said anything negative bout it, he acutally recommended it, i have not been going to him for some time now anyway. now, what do i do?

1) flush out all dexcool and replace with green?

2) keep using dexcool?
i was told this is the better solution since mixing the 2 causes acid formation, flushing out dexcool and using green again will cause more acid to form since there will be some dexcool left in the system.
