OK, i know dex-cool is very naughty, and I want to ditch it. I thought I remember reading where there is another long-life coolant almost as bad, but can't remember which.
I see Peak Global on here alot, so assume that must be ok, what about other extended life's like prestone, havoline, etc ??

Remove the lower radiator hose and drain the system.
Refill with water.
Idle engine with the heater on HOT for 15 min.
Shut it off and let it cool for 20 min.
Drain, repeat until nothing but clear water comes out.
Then refill with 2 gal of premixed engine coolant, bleed the system of air and you are done.
Total cost is 2-3 hours of time and $20-30 depending on the price of coolant.
