I'd at least research the benefits of the specified coolant. If I owned a vehicle that specified a particular coolant, I'd consider using the special stuff. At this point, I lean toward non-Dexcool extended-life largely because I've gotten lazy about coolant flushes, and the non-Dexcool costs less than Dexcool.
