No, you should not mix Dexcool with water. Dexcool is an extended-life antifreeze and coolant that is designed to be used as is, without dilution. Mixing it with water can dilute its protective properties and potentially lead to corrosion and other issues in the cooling system. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for proper use and maintenance.

It uses "Dexcool" Antifreeze. This is the "red" stuff not the green. It is a different formula and cools better. NEVER mix the two together. If you have to flush your system, pour two gallons of "distilled" water after you finish flushing the radiator. This is to remove all the mineral laden water from your block. When you fill the radiator use a 50/50 mix of Dexcool and Distilled water. This will minimize the formation of mineral deposits.

What is the correct coolant to be put in a 2001 Chevy Venture van?
Generally, you should have about a 50/50 (%) mixed of antifreeze and distilled water. GM recommends using Dexcool antifreeze. I would recommend that you use whatever antifreeze that is in there now and stick with the 50/50 mix. Take Care, Greg Also take care that if your van came with Dexcool (red in color) DO NOT add normal anti-freeze (green) to it. The Dexcool is lifetime antifreeze, and it will GEL if you add normall to it and bye bye engine. If it's red top up with Dexcool, or flush and refill with normal. Regards Brash911

Why is the engine coolant RED in 2000 alero from the factory and not yellow-green as other cars?
Because the manufacturer used a red dye instead of a yellow or green dye. Its called Dexcool and it is that cooler so can tell them apart dont mix them, and use dexcool as called for by GM. The coolant is red rather than green because it is not regular antifreeze. This is a special GM coolant known as DEXCOOL. Dexcool is a phosphate and silicate free coolant, coherently making it a more stable and longer lasting product.
