my neighbor had a flush done and they didnt fully top it off for her and her low coolant light came on i checked res it was dry so i toped it off. now first off it says dexcool right on res second i knew cuz my car it takes dex. so we looked at her reciept they put g-5 in her damn car for sure. now im wondering am i going to ruin her car. it had to be atleat half a liter i toped with 50/50 dexcool. what the hell how could they do that. what should i do?

[Vinalero]

You could put regular green stuff in your car if you did a rad flush. You just cant mix both.

what should i do?

you get that fluid out of the radiator ASAP and make sure to rinse it all out.. then fill it full of ONE BRAND of coolant.

What is G-5?

[irondiezl3]

mother f*cker u gotta be kidding me im gunna flip out on that place. who the hell puts g-5 in a alero? i heard pulling the radiator hose and hosing the system out still doesnt get it out of the block though?

Try having a place flush it otherwise if that fails its tear down the engine and clean and put back together time.

Also, I have never heard of G5 coolant. Ever. A Google search indicated that the Apple G5 computer has coolant in it, but no such thing as a type of vehicle coolant named as such.

[irondiezl3]

very popular goes in eruopean and fords use it at valvoline its yellow.

Oh, that's because it's called "G-05" not G-5 or G5.

Don't worry if they don't get all the Dex-cool out, because Zerex G-05 is compatible to be mixed with any coolant.

(Not that you want to intentionally mix different types of coolant though.)
