Specs and approvals listed by the manufacturer

Manufacturer wording: A GM-approved ethylene glycol based premium coolant that can be used in all GM vehicles 1995 and newer.

"Meets X per manufacturer" is our shorthand for any of the manufacturer's own phrases: meets, meets or exceeds, approved, or recommended for applications requiring. It is the manufacturer's claim, not an approval by Coolant.com or by the vehicle maker. Codes are copied as published. Some sources list codes for compatibility rather than formal approval. The wording above shows which.

What the manufacturer says it is for

PEAK® DEX-COOL® Antifreeze + Coolant is designed for use in all GM passenger cars, SUVs and light/medium duty trucks 1995 and newer.

Quoted from the manufacturer's page. Coolant.com has not verified fitment for any vehicle, and a listed make or year range is the manufacturer's statement, not ours.

Compatibility notes

  • If your owner's manual calls for GMW 3420, PEAK lists that code for this product. Read the exact wording above, and confirm against your manual.
  • Chemistry is listed as OAT. Mixing different chemistries can shorten coolant life. See OAT vs HOAT vs IAT and use the mixing checker before topping up.
  • Sold premixed: pour as supplied. Do not add water unless the label says to.
