I'm not a chemical engineer, but this I do know: technology
never stands still. Mercedes (BASF) used to make the best coolant.
Saab (also BASF) was probably a close 2nd, with very marginal
differences. I'd wager that the newer Dex-Cool formulations are
pretty good - how could they possibly recommend 100k miles if
they weren't? The Mercedes (BASF) has a longer history of doing
little or no corrosive damage, but I bet the Dex-Cool formulations
will more than suffice. Like I said, technology never stands still -
technological monopolies usually stagnate and get superceded by
something better. I don't see why BASF should be any different
than US Steel, in this regard - you're probably too young to remember
when US Steel, a huge monopoly, had no competition.
