I use Dex-Cool. Used it in both my 85 GL W/1.9L and my current 88 GL
w/2.1L WBX. No problems. BUT, and this is a BIG but, if you use it, you
gotta drain and flush your system every couple of years. Like any other
system using fluids of any kind, the stuff gets old, chemically changes,
and ultimately can cause you grief. Just makes sense to flush and
refresh in a reasonable period of time.
