Coolant change
Okay, so I have been reading all the post about changing the Dex out with prestone. I am confused as to which one.
Better A:
Or better B:
??????

as far as i know, i believe that when people say to put in prestone i believe they mean option A because i think option B still has the problems of dex-cool

I was also understanding A but like the second reply to the post says, there is disagreement. So I want to make sure that it is A before throwing that in.

If you read the ingredient labels on those two jugs, they are absolutely identical. The "DexCool approved" one just has orange dye instead of greenish-yellow, and costs about $2 more per gallon.
I'd say it comes down to this...if you're on any kind of warranty, use the orange one so the shop won't ding you for using "unapproved" coolant. If you are not on a warranty, use whatever you want.
