Ya my dad didnt know the difference and he put the green stuff in my 1999 Grand Am which of course was supposed to use the Dexcool and he mixed them and I think we had to get teh intake manifold replaced because of that. And the coolant bottle had to be replaced because it was cracked for some reason. Maybe the chemicals mixed made it bust?

I went to Meijer [super walmart equivilant I guess], and they didn't have Dex cool, but they had some Prestone which was $11/3.8L. And I went to walmart, and they had dexcool for $15/3.8L. Guess crap is expensive here. Oh well, converting would have been a bad idea from what you guys are saying.
