I did not pout in dexcool antifreeze but still a good one could it have been that or i let my gas runn almost on empty until i got to a staion
Gas has nothing to do with your car overheating. Im going to say that your thermostat is probably stuck in the closed position and that's what may be causing your overheating, or could be your water pump is not circulating your coolant properly. Do you have any "check engine" lights that are on?
The more you drive it during the overheating the more damage you will do to the car. Running out of gas wil not cause overheating. Wrong type of antifreeze/coolant will not cause it to overheat either. Wrong coolant/antifreeze may cause corrosion over time to some engines. When you notice it getting hot, stop as soon as you can safely. You may have a problem with the thermostat, coolant leak, bad head gasket, bad water pump, bad fan or fan relay or fan thermal switch, clogged radiator, leaky radiator. I would have to know more about the syptoms to give more insight.

I have an 02 olds alero (142000) the radiator fans are not working, therefore overheating. I have replaced the thermostat, water pump, coolant, what causes the fans not to work?
