I know there was and is some controversy over DEX-COOL, and that there was a big lawsuit and settlement a few years back that linked DEX-COOL to intake gasket failures in GM 3.1, 3.4, 3.8 and 4.3L engines. Seemed the issue was mainly due to lack of maintenance and running the system low on coolant for long periods. I've seen some argument over whether the gaskets themselves were the main issue and DEX-COOL was blammed for their inferiority, or whether the coolant was really the issue.
Since the cooling system in the Turbo Buicks predates the system in cars that came with DEX-COOL from the factory, I wanted to see if anyone knew whether DEX-COOL being used in a turbo buick resulted in the same types of gasket failures and cooling system issues.
