And I didn't mean that as an attack on you, Chaos; just meant it as an attack on Dex-cool. Sorry if the post showed my feelings improperly.

I bought a gallon of green PEAK coolant when I was on a road trip back from Portland to Denver as that is all they had...I didn't really know any better but now am running into having little to no coolant in my tank/reservoir every time I go out to the car.

Is this because I am not using the G12 and it is not compatible with the heat regulations or something else and it is just vaporizing? Or is it that my small leak that I had is now really really big!?

HELP!!!!!

Hello, would it be possible to add water to g12 until I get a chance to get some? I'm out of town and I'm not sure when I'l get a chance to get to a dealership.

Yes - G12 is meant to be diluted with water. You'll be fine.
