Best coolant

If you are starting out with a complete new system - radiator and motor - IMO use Evans after a rebuild.
The long haulers get upwards to a million miles with the stuff - it lasts and lasts. Up front cost is more with Evans- keep your car and change every three years - Evans is cheaper. I hear you can buy Evans at John Deere dealerships cheaper.
I use Dexcool - keep the caps on and don't frequently expose DexCool to air and it won't gum like you see it do around the overflow cap and radiator cap if you keep exposing the stuff to air.
I can't switch to Evans because it doesn't like my Meziere electric water pump.

i think buying Evans is a gimic. why do they want you to ONLY use their crap with their water pumps... stay with 50/50 distilled water and dex and add a bottle of purple ice or water wetter. i use that on both my cars in my signature! never over heating problems in FL summer!! EVER!!!

If you mix the dex with green stuff you will run into trouble. Gaskets etc will rot. Green stuff has a shorter life span then dex cool also. I say stick to the dex cool; gm made it for their motors so stick with it.
