[s-cars] The great coolant debate...

[Gabriel Caldwell]

My apologies if this hashes up an old subject or opens old wounds but
I'm curious about your opinions on coolant.  What do you put in your S
car?  G11, G12 or something else?  After copious flushings to get rid of
the old coolant in my 90 I have been using DexCool for quite some time
with no ill effects.  My logic is that in the case of an emergency (i.e.
a hose popping off on a road trip and dumping your coolant) it will be a
lot easier to find DexCool to top up with than G11 or G12.  DexCool is
phosphate and silicate free which should meet the goals G11 and G12
accomplish.  Now that I've done the timing belt on the S, I would like
to flush out my cooling system and refill it.  I have G11, G12 and
DexCool in my garage and I'm still debating what to do.  Opinions?
