Blue? What's that?
It's really your choice at this point. Standard green or Dexcool (orange) are the normal choices. My 95 came with the green stuff. If it had come with Dexcool, it would have a sticker near the radiator fill to say so. Some people seem to have issues with Dexcool, but either will work well if you take care of your cooling system.

use green. The orange is nothing but problems. I work at a dealership, and I see S-10 radiators eaten half up by that orange crap. The green works best anyway. And it is cheap. Trust me, use green.

watch it, with messing around with that stuff, if y ou mix the green and red it makes a corosive, ive seen alot of people ad the green thinking its the same stuff, but beleve me, it will literly melt your hoses. make sure that you flush it good.

I had my radiator flushed a year ago and the mechanic who did it put that Prestone yellow stuff in. works great so far, but I think its cost is right up there with the dexcool. by now my coolant is a light green as I've topped off with the green premixed stuff since.

You can mix the two without any issues. The only thing it does is lower the overall protection to the level of the green stuff.

when i got the car the radiator looked like it was full muddy rust water. I was told that was caused by mixing the orange and green... i dont know for sure but im not going to try it find out.....
