With all the controversy about DEXCOOL antifreeze in the past has it now been reformulated?
I've read on a couple of websites that the newer Dexcool was reformulated....which makes sense...being that GM's continuing to use the "Dexcool" brand after the revelation of the old formula's problems, I think it's safe to conclude that they would alter it to make it safe to the cooling systems/gaskets.
What else can I help you with?
What is the cause of an antifreeze leak in a 2002 Chevrolet Malibu where there is no visible leak?

Why would there be mud in the radiator of a 1996 GMC sonoma?
it is not mud. Most 94 and later GM'S come out with Dexcool antifreeze. If it hasn't been changed it will kinda look like mud. My recomendation would be to flush the whole cooling system and replace with regular or universal antifreeze.
What kind of antifreeze does your 2000 Chevy blazer take?
ignore that last answer, only use green antifreeze if your system has been converted over, you use factory gm coolant called dexcool, it is orange.I do recommend converting your system over to green because nomatter what gm says, I've ran onto a lot of problem with dexcool, dexcool gums up so bad over time. Just tell your machanic you want your system switched to green, he will do an intense job of flushing out entire coolant system if he is a good machanic.AnswerGreen 50/50 anti-freeze
Is it safe to flush the dex-cool out of your 2000 Chevy venture and replace with regular antifreeze?
My mechanics routinely make this change from Dexcool to "regular" antifreeze upon customer request. They say they've never had an intake manifold gasket failure with the green antifreeze as has been common when Dexcool was used. A GM dealership parts manager I know told me it's fine to go to green antifreeze as long as the orange "gunk" has been flushed out. He went as far as to "suggest" the company "might know" Dexcool has problems, but they can never admit it. ;) Just remember to change every 2 years now. It is perfectly safe to do this however the vehicle will be damaged. Dex-Cool is a specially formulated anti-freeze for some vehicles and must be used to replace antifreeze to protect the engine and radiator. The question is why are you replacing it after only 5 years. I have a 1987 Mazda RX7 (my second car) with the original antifreeze. Unless something has broken you should never "flush" your radiator for any reason. Dex-Cool has been shown to corrode the plastic gaskets that were used in the Venture for some years. Hence, after some time, the manifold gasket will rupture and necessiate a costly repair.
