2 years ago when my mechanic installed a new radiator and water pump, he changed my coolant over to havoline dexcool (orange). Now, i've heard a lot of mixed feelings on that stuff and i wanted to flush my system. so do i use dexcool again or do i switch back to old green? some say keep using havoline dexcool and not any other types of organe antifreeze, just Havoline Dexcool cuz its a "different formula". others say flushing out and putting in green in can cause more bad then good now, especially if some dexcool is left in the system. what u think?
