Whopper....yeah, thought I might help YOU a little. And the laziness of society really does amaze me.

But as you can see, people will still post the same information they posted before, numerous times. It does get a bit "old".

I need all the help I can get. One does get a little tired of helping those that can't help themselves due to their own laziness.

Here's one for you - http://clipnation.com/move-deer-crossing/

i always read the manual and do what it reccomends. i too, when i first bought my hhr was nervous about dexcool. but after reading forums, including this one, talking to local mechanics, im pretty comfortable with dexcool now, i don't believe in leaving THE SAME COOLANT in there for 5 years, i rather swap it out every 2 years and call it good. just my .02 cents

Dexcool. But like they said, read up on it. Alota things are newer than the older vehicles. Read up on this new stuff and enjoy the new times!:p

The issue is the intake manifold gasket in some GM vehicles. According to CTV, the part may degrade in vehicles built between 1995 and 2003. In worst-case scenarios, the gasket is failing, introducing coolant to engine oil, rendering the latter ineffective and resulting in siezed engines. Affected vehicles include the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix and Aztek, and several Oldsmobiles. Service bulletins obtained by the news source indicate the automaker has been aware of the problem for years. However, GM currently does not have a recall on these vehicles, since degradation can have a variety of causes.
An online petition asking GM to issue a voluntary recall has collected some 11,000 signatures.

A full-listing of affected vehicles can be found at the link.
GM has since come out with a new, redesigned intake manifold gasket for its newest vehicles.

Do a search on this forum. This topic has been well discussed. AND there is no longer a problem with Dexcool and GM.....it has been resolved for about 5-8 years. So, you are providing news but nothing new and not worthy of further discussion.

Dex Cool is fine just make sure to use it properly. It is like anything else if you are uninformed you can screw something up if not used properly.
