Leave the exist coolant in there, no need to change it.
why are people saying he needs to change it at 5 years for , IT HAS ONLY 300 #@$%! MILES!!!!
..... the coolant is technically new.

Here's what I don't get about the "air" theory of the origin of dex-sludge. Lots of vehicles- including ones that are factory filled with dexcool- have pressurized 'surge' tanks. I'm not talking about an overflow bottle- I'm talking about a pressure cap on the tank itself. You can look through the opaque plastic and check the level of the coolant. Know what's in the top of that tank? That's right- AIR. Now, if air is the cause of the dex-sludge, then why don't systems with pressurized surge tanks have inherent problems with the sludge (moreso than 'overflow tank' systems)??

I'll admit onion, you have first claims.
In the beginning it may have been a gamble with the isssues but now, today the issues have been solved.
I tend to wonder why VW never had the issues GM did, maybe foresight?
They basically use roughly the same coolant.
It is poor maintenance and obviously faulty parts the reason it turns to peanut butter. Leave green in long enough and it would most likely do the same.

Here's a shot of my DexCool. I change it every 6 months and mix it 50/50 with distilled water. I like it for the cool red colour.

Actually, your Chrysler 300 uses G05.

It uses an organic acid technology coolant which essentially is what Dexcool is.
