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.
You Don`t Need The Special Ones On This Car. Just Use The Green Color Regular One.
No you can't. Dex Cool antifreeze which is Orange. And regular antifreeze will not mix.
Absolutely nothing.
regular green antifreeze
Only in an emergency
Regular antifreeze such as, green, or red!
A 1997 Jeep uses the regular green antifreeze.
Regular ethylene glycol 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.
you should use the dextrol coolant
No , use plumbing antifreeze ( antifreeze for trailers etcetera )
it doesen t use regular antifreeze, you have to use dexcool, its orange color
