Go with the dexcool, and add the Rp 40-below to it... works wonders. Only do it if you do a lot of stop-and go driving though or live in a really hot area year-round... and of course, change it out every year with fresh (flush + full replace)

Damn no its not the best coolant... I had a brain fart when I wrote that. However Prestone actually makes a universal coolant now that supposedly has the sealant, conditioner, and anti-corrosion stuff already in it. Heard good things about it but havent used it (yet, but very soon).

On hot days though, I still swear by the 40-below additive... I don't think it last as long though, only noticed a big difference for one summer with it and that was it.
