What is DEX-COOL?

The cooling system of your GM vehicle's engine is filled with a fluid called DEX-COOL, a name you may be familiar with. This fluid prevents your engine from overheating and freezing in environments with temperature variations, such as in Quebec. In fact, General Motors uses a long-lasting coolant called DEX-COOL in its vehicles. This term indicates that the antifreeze it contains meets GM standards.

What is its purpose?

It is a long-lasting coolant that protects against corrosion and does not contain phosphate, nitrate, or silicate. As a result, DEX-COOL should only be changed every five years or at 240,000 KM* depending on your annual mileage. Other coolants, on the other hand, must be changed every two years. To ensure its proper functioning, no other liquid should be added to the equal mixture of pure drinking water and DEX-COOL, as this could increase corrosion or engine overheating.

It is important to have your vehicle's coolant changed by an authorized service center. This center adheres to legal requirements to protect the environment and your health. Our dealership, JD Chevrolet Buick GMC, is certified for maintaining your cooling system and for the disposal of used coolants.

*Mileage may vary depending on vehicle use.
