My car currently has what I assume to be Dex Cool (red/orange), and I am flushing and replacing the coolant soon. I know that around the end of 2001, Saab went from G05 to Dex Cool, but I don't think there was a change in anything in the cooling system besides that, so either should work (?). I just want to put the best stuff in the engine, I don't care if one or the other is more expensive.
Also, on my parents 9-5, they had Scanwest in Seattle over here replace the water pump, and it wasn't cheap, that's for sure. However, Scanwest filled the system with a green coolant, and now they're having a leak and a noise, both of which sound like they're coming from the water pump. If this turns out to be the situation, is there a reasonable argument that they caused the failure of the replacement?
