Hi there,

Some anti freeze agents are not compatible with others, unfortunately i can't find anything on the wed regarding dexacool, only a complaint about it. So i would play it safe and flush and re fill with a brand name anti freeze, as for which one, sorry but you would be asking the wrong person as where i live,t he only freezing problems i get is when my fridge packs it in.
