But yes if it is exposed to too much oxygen then it will turn into gel.

don't mean to jack, but I've had a question about this latley.
I understand the DEX is for bi-metal engines. Is it safe to run the green stuff if I do a good flush?

Synopsis...
-Dexcool isn't the panacea it was supposed to be.
-Air infiltration and not-distilled water kill it.
-Brown gunk is the result.
-Flush & fill is the fix.
-New green coolants are safe for aluminum engines.
-Overall fix is to not try to go 5yr/50k miles on any color coolant. Try 2-3 yrs.

From what I have seen, ALL Coolant has the ability to turn into that gelitain stuff. Just depends on what it is subjected to. Even the coolant that we use in our aircraft (f-15e) does it.
