HELP! Coolant system flushed and replaced with....
Dexc(Dexcool?) as it says on the Jiffy Lube invoice. This stuff is green and not pink like the Toyota coolant. It says it's a universal coolant but I know there 2 different kinds of coolant available. Is my wife's 06' XB OK or should I be worried about this green coolant? Any help would be great!

you want toyota long life red... (well it's pinkish in color after it's mixed)..
how many miles did you have on your vehicle that warrantied having it changed out?
and for the record... Jiffy Lube sucks... the guy probably suckered you into believing that you needed a radiator flush when you really didn't need it.... and now replaced it with crap.

Dexcool sucks. I used to work in a hardcore GM shop and we always flushed it out and refilled with green Prestone. Regardless, xB's are factory filled with pink looking longlife coolant that is not Dexcool. Just because they are similar in color does not mean they should have used it.
My wife's 06' Xb has 117,000 miles on it. I'm going to have them reflush it and I'll buy/bring some Toyota long-life coolant. I change the oil myself in both the Xbs. Grandmas 92 Cressida goes to Jiffy Lube since I can't reach the filter.
