[QUOTE="Bodaciouscj7, post: 1438187, member: 16358"] I have heard this before but in 14 years in the business have never seen it. As Crash said, Dexcool will do that crap, hence the reason GM was involved in a class action lawsuit about that crap.:stirpot: Long life coolants are silicate free. Ethelyne Glycol (green) has silicates. The info I have read is they can be mixed but you loose the long life of the silicate free coolant. The same aticle that I was reading in the trade magazine stated thate once silicate based coolants have been introduced to a cooling system that silcate free coolant will never give the longer effective life no matter how well the block is flushed. wether that is true or not, i don't know but I will never recomend to a customer to switch to Green in a system that has not been previously contaminated.
