That'* what she calls a fire.
So, from the way I see it, the thing she told you about actually happened, but there really wasn't a "fire."

Sure, I'm just trying to agree with everyone who'* posted so far while explaining the story. I am certain that mixing green antifreeze with Dex is probably going to rush the sludging process.

I corrected you for the simple reason that green or not, DEX will sludge in the right conditions by itself. I'd rather not have rumors and rumblings perpetuated, especially in a topic about DEX.
