Wrong color anti-freeze 2005 Chevy Uplander

Chevy Uplander

What difference does it make if I have the wrong color antifreeze in this car? The mechanic said it’s good til -32, but the wrong color.

ALSO: Will 200 hp V6 pull 2100 lbs boat. (It’s says 3500 lbs), but feels a little weird pulling it. maybe I’m just not used to it yet

Thank you


Wrong Color Anti-Freeze

As it turns out your vehicle requires DEX-COOL anti-freeze/coolant. DEX-COOL is typically orange in color and should not be mixed with Green anti-freeze. Using the wrong anti-freeze will result in internal cooling system gasket failure. Back in December of 2007 GM lost a DEX-COOL class action lawsuit.

From the Manual:

As for the pulling a boat question, refer to the car owners manual for towing capabilities.

  1. I guess I will get anti-freeze flushed & replaced with Dex-Cool Mixture.

    Do u suggest getting it flushed professionally?
