Prestone coolant, Dex-Cool (Long Life 240,000 Km – 150,000 Miles)?

Hello everyone,

I checked my owners manual and the coolant required for my 04 Matrix calls for a Long Life or equivalent. Is Dex-Cool ok to use? I did a forum search and no mention of Dex-Cool.

Thanks,

Thanks everyone, I’m going to return the Dex-Cool for a refund and purchase the Toyota Long life.
