In this video we talk about the importance of using factory specified fluids in your car vs using 'universal fluids' that supposedly work for all manufactures. Although most aftermarket companies will try to convince you that universal fluids are safe, they also say to use the manufactures recommended service in the fine print.
When you read your manufacturers service details, it clearly states that you should use a specific fluid (GM Dexcool, etc). For me, I'm going with the factory recommended fluid vs trusting the legal 'fine print' on the aftermarket universal fluid and I highly recommend you do as well!
