Old GM Settles Lawsuit With “Dex-Cool” Owners

There is sufficient LEGAL proof that GM dragged the lawsuits out until after the bankruptcy, finally settled them for a tiny fraction of what it should have been.

In My Opinion:
Using this product in any MB is BEGGING for catastrophic engine failure.
The MB engine / cooling system is NOT DESIGNED FOR IT.
The simple fact that Dex Cool reacts badly with air at elevated temperatures = using it in the majority of older vehicles is a recipe for disaster.

Legal fact = nobody has a right to prevent a vehicle owner from filling the cooling system with anything they desire = Elmer's Glue, salt brine, muriatic acid, geotechnical engineering drilling fluid.

The car is yours = the repair bill is yours.
