People don't care enough to actually do the research. It is all very confusing and most people just don't understand.
The point about DEX-COOL is that it's the only antifreeze widely available in the US that meets Japaneese "no silicates" requirement. Yes, you have to replace if every two years, but it's the same requirement as with the other types sold in stores. And those are in direct violation of Japaneese manufacturers' requirements. And the price is pretty much the same across the board.
I see no reason to use anything other than genuine SAAB coolant in our cars, since it is readily available and very reasonably priced. Compare $7/gal I paid for SAAB coolant to $14/gal for genuine Subaru stuff.
BTW, it looks like BMW coolant is the same Valvoline G 48 as SAAB, yet it is almost twice as expensive.
