Yes, not using Dexcool antifreeze in a system that specifically recommends it can lead to several issues. Dexcool is formulated to provide optimal corrosion protection and thermal efficiency for certain engine materials. Using a different type of coolant can result in inadequate protection, potentially causing corrosion, overheating, or even damage to the engine over time. It's essential to follow manufacturer recommendations for coolant to ensure proper functioning and longevity of the vehicle's cooling system.

A 50/50 mix of distilled water and Dexcool antifreeze.
50% antifreeze/50% water is recommended for most conditions. Use of DEXCOOL-approved coolant is NOT recommended.
There has been a very lively discussion going on about "Red" or Dexcool
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.
Dexcool or ornge antifreeze 5 year, red color, Hoat type, Not DEXCOOL.
I assume you are refering to the radiator overflow bottle. The required coolant is red 5 year antifreeze(not dexcool).
