I mixed it witg the stuff that says it can mix witg any color, but I read somewhere that it turns into a muddy thick mess even with the "universal" coolant/antifreeze. So after I do this tonight I will see if I'm still havibg any problems. Thanks guys!

Completely do away with the dex stuff if you have it,I have heard nothing good about it.Also those two words that have dc in them are forbidden to use on this forum,why IDK thats just what i read.Take your two heater hoses off go to the car while you do it.Then put the wash on rinse and make sure theres no soap coming out.Use the spray nossle to flush those hoses and heater core removing all the junk and gunk if theres any in there it will blow out.

Oh, ok. Thank you! Should I buy collant flush, oe could I just drain it all out then put new in? I want to remove all the mixed coolant that is now in the radiator and reservoir. I checked the radiator and it is full, but with the mix.

Ok guys, I didn't gwt around to flushing the radiator, but I did find a hose that wasn't secure, so I pushed it on more. I flushed the heater core, but still no heat. No coolant in the oil, no smoke or sweet smell.
when you flushed the core did you check the hoses leading to the core? i would take the hoses off leading to core and check them. no heat means your not getting coolant in there. while the engine is running is the lines running to and from the core hot?
oh well, I'm happy the engine is running normal again
