I don't like the dexcool sensitivity to breakdown if air leaks in, amongst other reported weaknesses. I run Zerex G05 and have a big label near the fill neck "Use Zerex G05 ONLY".
That said, G48 and G05 are 99.99% identical and thoroughly mixable, for what that's worth since no one sells "G-48" as a label, just under Saab, Volvo, BMW, Audi ext life etc. (two years ago anyway).
I even went to the trouble to drain & flush the dexcool out of my 9-5 and refill with G05.
As long as NAPA and other outlets keep making it available, I'm sold.
