10 years ago I was seeing cars come into the shop suffering "death from Dex-Cool". It was plain lack of maintenance, really. I rarely saw it on pickups or a Buick driven by a little old lady, but on Pontiac sedans & third-hand Cadillacs. The type of people who owned cars like that were the sort that only opened the hood when the "low oil pressure" light came on. They'd dump in a couple quarts of store brand 10w30 from Dollar General and let it roll. Those Cadillacs, when at the hand of folks like that, went downhill fast. With owners that cared, though, they have a lot to offer. I think I'd have more confidence in one of these than a Lincoln or anything European from that era.
