Best Answer

No it will not ruin the engine but when making a switch you need to be careful. If you decide to make the change you must get the coolant system flushed because a lot of times two different coolants getting mixed will react with each other and it could ruin your entire system or even your engine. Also ALWAYS use a coolant with Dex-cool because all GM vehicles made since 1996 require it. From what I understand not using Dex-cool will cause rust in the coolant system and the engine block.

Difference between dexcool and regular antifreeze?

Dexcool is considered a organic compound, as regular antifreeze is considered a glycol compound. They are not compatible with each other, although there are what is called universal antifreeze's available that supposedly can be mixed in either. Also as a side note, there are no official colors of antifreeze. A manufacturers antifreeze can be any color he chooses. It is up to the person to determine what antifreeze is suitable for a car or truck.
