    who cares? 90k miles is nothing. drive it until something actually breaks or you break it from putting to much power through it.

    I would get rid of the Dexcool. Flush it all out really good and use regular green coolant!

    Use the green coolant that mixes with either the green or the dex cool.

    Well, like others have said, first thing is to flush out the Dexcool and use green coolant. #2 Change spark plugs #3 New front O2 sensor

    Also consider, as TurboTrav mentioned, putting a can of SeaFoam in your gas. SeaFoam it is awesome stuff and best used as a preventative measure. I highly recommend doing this as step #1.5

    And an oil change very 5K, as always.

    i like my water pump, dexcool works just fine, just keep it fresh. Yellow is basically the same as dexcool.
