There are much better coolants to be used. The Fleetrite ELC and Rotella ELC ( SAME product different packaging) are excellent choices, good for 300K and up to 600K if a extender is used at 300K. It is what the OTR trucks use.

I agree. The gold stuff is supposed to be universal, but isn't it geared more toward GM's Dex-cool? Kinda like if you owned a GM with Dex-cool & wanted to convert to green anti-freeze, you have to do what you said & flush it really good & then fill with green. If you don't, & the Dex-cool mixes with green(or even just straight water), the Dex-cool turns into liquid rust.
