I changed mine over to good old green antifreeze when I got that mailing.

I just looked it up - I had a Dexcool Flush & Fill last November with a $54.95 Dealer Service Special Coupon. SO this year it's up $35. Blame it on Katrina (and now Rita) I guess.

but it's a POWER flush and fill... not the old manual version. It's $39 better!Pffft - GM ain't touchin' my cooling system. I've read the monster threads and I got 'Yota Red in my system... that's who's going to touch it.
