That is interesting, the shop next to me works on a lot of GM products and he swears at the Dexcool and not by it. I have seen many, many intake manifolds and the like in his shop that were corroded away and the general consensus was that it was the Dexcool. I have never had a problem with the Volvos rusting away and I have always used Volvo coolant in my shop. For me it is a matter of if it works then why fix it. Have any of you guys seen a real reason to need to go to Dexcool other than the fact that it is red? Has there been a problem with the freeze or corrosion protection provided by the Volvo coolant? I can't believe that it is a cost thing. I could see if the factory stuff was deficient in some way or if the Dexcool provided something above and beyond the other stuff but otherwise why fix what is not broke?
