dexcool coolant didnt damage the gaskets on GM vehicles - it was bad design of the gaskets themselves and also airpockets in the system, some old GM designs have an air pocket on top of radiator to act as expansion area - which is not workable with dexcool as it can dehydrate and gel that way, Those same GM engines had failing gaskets on old green coolant too. LOL
if you are more interested in dexcool findings then you will be alarmed to know that VW have been using a dexcool formula since ages, Ford have been using dexcool too for a while now. A lot of other heavy diesels are now also on a dexcool formula.
LOL
I didnt answer before - because I knew you would google and be "dragged" into the "hurrdurr dexcool killed ma injun" type posts. There are millions of engines globally running this same formula coolant and most of those vehicles cost atleast 5 times than that of an old Honda city.
If it comforts you, my personal cars in Pakistan ran this same havoline coolant which was sold as caltex before and their display stands were kinoo shaped at petrol pumps. I drove those cars hundreds of thousands of kms collectively. For customer car - the max one recorded was 90,000 kms on a Honda civic VTi 1996 before I left Pakistan - it was using the same fill of coolant I did on his car after a good flushing - the owner never had to pop the radiator cap either (my motto was more road time less shop time)
But - its your call as its your car. If you dont like it, dont use it - buy something that makes you feel comfortable. You can probably buy NF type CAT ELC which may be good for 2 million kms in a passenger car but will be cost prohibitive.
