Prestone Extended Life Coolant

I went to buy a gallon of good old Prestone Coolant and could not find what I was looking for. I went to two retailers and both only had "New Extended Life" coolant available. The label claims: "Will mix with any color coolant".

The ingredients on the back label read a lot like DEXCOOL. Is this the same stuff with green Dye? Earlier reports indicated that DEXCOLL could cause problems. Has this prooved to be so, or was that some advertising scare?

Has Prestone stopped making the 2-year variety?

I have not installed it in any of my cars, and thought to check here before I do. Thanks for your feedback.

Dan
