What is a good substitute for Dex Cool Antifreeze in a 97 Pontiac Grand Am?

Trust me on this one... you want to use ONLY Dex-Cool approved coolant in that vehicle, [i]especially[/i] if you have the Quad Four... the water pump is a bit on the sensitive side, and if you try using green coolant, it will cause the water pump to go out. If you have the Quad Four, and you blow a head gasket, it's going to cost more to repair than you're willing to spend on a vehicle that age, rest assured. It happened back in 02 with a 97 Grand Am I used to own, and it was somewhere around $1200 to have it repaired.
