The Guy in the dealership said that GM are doing away with badges on spare parts(At least coolant fluid). He said that soon all there will be on any part is the GM stamp. I have done some looking around and the green stuff is the cheapest coolant fluid as far as I understand because of the short life span ie. needs to be changed regulary. I dont have my service program handy but wonder how often the coolant fluid is scheduled for change? Is the service program designd with the red stuff (long life?) or the green stuff in mind? thanks, keith
