Id rather ask and make sure then sit there and pretend I know everything.
Up until 1:40pm today I was quite certain that green was the one and only coolant colour. I wasn't pretending anything - I was just plain wrong. I could have been a little more subdued in my wrongness.

It's been a lesson for both of us.

The GM / Dex-cool type coolant is an extended life type of coolant. We do not need this type of coolant. I read articles and spoke to a few rotory specialist that note that these type of coolants (possibly) Disintegrate the water seals.

For use rotory user, it is wise to change your coolant once a year.

In addition, there is a mfg that sells a radiator cap that has a probe that is attached to the bottom end of the cap. The probe attracts the harmful Electrolysis (electricity flow) within the cooling system. Which (I hope every knows) attacks the metal of the rotor housing.

AGAIN, CHG YOUR COOLANT ONCE A YEAR!
