I have a 94 GMC Jimmy with a 4.3 Vortec. I was wondering what coolant to use other than Dex Cool. I'm pretty sure Dex Cool didn't come around till 95 or 96 so I should be good on that. The owner manual says to use a coolant that meets GM spec. 6038-m, but I can't find a coolant that meets this. So what should I do?

ENGINE COOLANT
A 50/50 mixture of clean water (preferably distilled) and use only GM Goodwrench(R) DEX-COOL(R) or Havoline(R) DEX-COOL(R) (orange-colored, silicate-free) coolant, or an approved recycled coolant conforming to GM Specification 6038-M (GM P/N 1052103).
i hope this will help thanx and dont forget to rating me
Hello there
there are two types of coolant that were used in your car: your coolant bottle or cap may have a orange or green dot on it.
Orange dot = DEXCOOL
Green dot= Eythelene gycol (green stuff)
All the 97' and UP had dexcool. 96' was the transistion year, some one way some the other.
Hope this helps. Please don't forget to rate me.
Thanks
