D-C was still using the good old fashioned green stuff in '00. Which reminds
me I need to change it out before it gets too cold out...

The old fashioned green stuff is fine for any vehicle that came with it
although DC recommends you upgrade to the new stuff because it offers better
anti-corrosives.

As far as I know only Valvoline's Zerex Brand still makes the old green
formula and the new G-05 formula coolant.

Valvoline's Zerex is the only company (that I am sure of) that still makes
the old spec "American Green" and the new spec (G-05)

Nothing made by Prestone meets either spec according to industry
publications. Peak *might* make a version of "American Green' but they
refuse to divulge the inhibitors on that particular product and since they
promote some of their other coolants containing ingredients for DC (and Ford
& Mercedes) vehicles that are strictly banned by DC and Ford and Mercedes I
would take the position that if they lie to you about half their products
they are probably lying about the other half as well....

Note: Just because a coolant may happen to be the color green does not make
it 'American Green' which is the coolant used in American cars for decades.
It uses IAT inhibitors.

Prestone and most Peak coolants use OAT (=DexCool) inhibitors. OAT
containing coolants are strictly forbidden by DC, use will void the warranty
on any associated part.
http://www.imagestation.com/album/pi...?id=2102424208

G-05 spec uses HOAT inhibitors and is the current DC spec.

I got my G-05 at PepBoys, it is also carried at NAPA. Most places in my area
only carry Prestone.

You may also want to flush your cooling system before you install the new
parts.... I like the Flush-n-Fill' kits, they make doing a superior cleaning
job easier and faster.

No matter what brand you buy get the coolant concentrate and pick up some
distilled water at the grocery on the way home. Minerals in tap water
promote corrosion.
