Your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox requires Dex Cool coolant. You can purchase a gallon of Peak 1 Yellow 50/50 Coolant/Antifreeze for $12 at O'Reilly's that is suitable for your vehicle. It's crucial to use the correct coolant to prevent corrosion or damage to the water pump, radiator, and radiator hoses. Signs that indicate you may need to flush the coolant in your Equinox include coolant leakage while the engine is running, excessive steam emanating from the radiator or hood, and higher than normal temperature readings on the instrument panel's gauge.
Dex-cool is the preferred coolant for the 2008 Chevrolet Equinox.
