Welcome. I hate that you aren't having the greatest of luck with your cars. Hope you find what you need, and hang around!

Hey Joe, nice having you here. Don't tell me the Dexcool hasen't killed your intake gasket on the Malibu yet? Oops, wasn't supposed to say Dexcool. Meant to say that highly corrosive, 150,000 mile warrented, coolant. Pardon please. But at least you know how to work on 'em.

He never said anything about intake gaskets....
Anyway, Dex-cool is a great coolant. Its the incompatible gaskets that are at fault.

You can use a universal coolant, usually yellow under the Prestone brand.
Dex-cool is what they recommend for new (94 and up) GM vehicles.

Engine and Internal. Or you could use the section corresponding to your model.
