In 2006, your Chevrolet Aveo requires orange or yellow antifreeze, known as "Dexcool", utilizing OAT technology. For a suitable option, consider purchasing a gallon of Prestone Yellow Concentrated Coolant/Antifreeze (part #AF2000) from O'Reilly's at $16, which is both compatible and OEM approved. While antifreeze is meant to last for 10 years or 300,000 miles, real-world conditions often prevent this. If you notice frequent coolant top-offs, it could indicate potential head gasket issues, a costly repair to monitor closely.
