plus Dexcool contains a plasticiser (compound that attacks and softens plastics).
case in point; 2 identical cars
1995 Century 3.1, green coolant
1996 Century 3.1, Dexcool

the 95 still has the original intake gaskets and not leaking after 135,000 miles. the 96 (also about 130,000 miles) has had the gaskets done 3 times now and the manifold repaired twice. both have belonged to the same company since new. both have the same gaskets.
