Other coolants will break down where Dex Cool is made to last the lifetime of the vehicle. It actually has ingredients in it to extend the life of gaskets. When you switch to a non synthetic coolant you run the risk of gasket failures.

um, you sure about that?
lifetime of the vehicle huh? is that why GM recomends to change it at 100k, and by that time, its a big goopity mess of brown sludge? you'll be lucky to get 100k miles.
gasket life extension? sorry, nope. where did you hear that one?
gasket failure? thats funny, ive always ran the green stuff. i got rid of dexcool as soon as i got the engine. gasket failure is from improper installation, manufacture defects, detonation, and age. not from switching.
btw, i have no problems with dexcool, but from my experiences and my group of friends, we prefer the green stuff.
