I have been using "green" in all of my cars for the last twenty five years with no ill effects. I have recently started switching the cars over to G-05.

I would not use the orange DexCool on a bet. I also do not use the extended life green.

What is most important is to renew the coolant every two years to help guard against electrolysis which will damage the aluminum heads.

I certainly would not "open up the head" to have a look for damage.
