I think this is the last time I'm going to bother correcting your nonsense. I probably should just ignore you but your comments are getting out of hand.

Oh really? Here is
EXACTLY what you said when you brought up gaskets...

I've already conceded that Dexcool might not be as compatible with some gaskets and might be more agressive.

But the big point you are missing is there are millions of more other cars that were FF with Dexcool and they did not sludge or have gasket problems. You act like I'm denying dexcool ever had problem and that I'm saying you can use it in all makes which I clearly have not.
It was not until your third post about gaskets that you claimed to have said, "What I said was the gasket was more of the issue than the Dexcool" which you didn't say in the previous posts I have quoted above. Perhaps your memory is starting to fail you?
If you can't infer from all that I was saying the plastic gaskets were much if not all of the issue, then I don't know what to tell you.

I am starting to think you might be a mental case. I posted that in ANOTHER THREAD! Not this one. But to help you along, I said in the other thread (Zerex Asian Vehicle antifreeze)...
No need to stoop to insulting me buddy. I personally think you should be banned for this kind of posting. I couldn't care less what you say you posted in what thread. All your arguments in these threads is prefaced upon Dexcool having cavitation problems. I'll post whatever point I want in a thread. I don't need your approval.

So once again here is some proof for you...
http://motor.com/magazine/pdfs/082002_04.pdf
Look at the last page of that article.
Now backup your claim that damage is a figment of my imagination.
I don't really care about your link to a 7 year old Motor article with a picture of some dubious test of an OAT used in an old Dodge or whatever. You think I never read Motor magazine before? You are just not getting anything that's said. What's been said is Dexcool vehicles don't seem to have much cavitation-corrosion problems. It's been explained that the Dexcool lays down a protective coating on these vehicles and if you keep air out of the system you don't see much problem. I've ad enough Dexcool engines apart to know this. Then you go ranting on with strawman arguments that I've said to put Dexcool in everything and whatever else that I haven't said.
Also I recently posted a product sheet that showed Dexcool had little cavitation-corrosion. So far you ignore that and instead continue your argument in this thread.

I guess simplistic statements are beyond your grasp. And since you once again are quoting me from a different thread, I will say here what I have said there. I have said, "How can Peak GL without using phosphates or silicates possibly be compatible in an Asian vehicle requiring an HOAT coolant using phosphates?" What do you not get about that? You have claimed in that other thread you agreed with me that it was best to follow what the OEM recommended so why aren't you?
You are the one misconstruing everything and appear to not be grasping concepts. I haven't said whether I do or don't follow OEM recommendations. Yet you yourself admitted you would not follow the OEM recommendation for Dexcool. You're also disregarding that several coolant manufactures have recommended Dexcool in non-GM vehicles. I'm not even doing that, yet you act like I'm the only one who is. I've been discussing among others the possibility of using other coolants for reasons that have been mentioned. You've stated your postion numerous times and since you are not open to the idea maybe you should just drop out of the discussion?

I think there is a point. My arguments are getting repetitive because they hold up and are true and they are backed up by links that anyone can read. You ought to get around to reading them instead of bringing stupidity with you when you reply to me.
That's just your opinion that all your arguments have been completely back up with your links. I sure don't think so. You are entitled to your opinion, but I don't really care to hear it anymore. You are prone to assumptions, like that I haven't read your links. I've seen many of those links previously before you ever posted them. I can't imagine what are you going to come up with next as reply.
