I think my car uses green fluid. I even went to Pep-Boys and asked them what my car took (they said green fluid)

I just drained the radiator, and it is all orange!! It smells burnt though. I don't know if it is Dex-Cool, or the green stuff now (I already bought the green stuff)

Damn this Dex-Cool, why couldn't they just be normal and use the green stuff?

 

I think it was '96. My '95 Z has the green stuff. They mixed it.

 

sure about 96?
i always thought it was 97
hmm...

 

1994

 

Seems like it was 1996. The owner's manuals appear to back that up. My 1995 came with green. Anyway, if it came from the factory with Dex-cool, it would have a sticker near the reservoir saying so.

 

It was 96 for the Camaro, dunno about other models.

My 95 has the green, my 96 had the orange.

 

I stand corrected.....

General Motors® has been using this coolant technology in their cars and light trucks since the start-of-production of the 1996 model year vehicles (except Saturn®, which began in 1997). GMC® medium trucks equipped with Caterpillar engines, have been getting a nitrite-added form of DEXCOOL (NOAT) to insure protection against wet sleeve liner cavitation-erosion.
