      No,It's a 2.2L that uses regular ethylene glycol green antifreeze/coolant.I'm going to start by checking and cleaning all the ground connections at the block,head,radiator core support,etc..Then I'm going to flush and refill the system with distilled water at a
      70/30 mix,with a ph additive.Then I'm going to start looking for a bad ground circuit somwhere ; maybe a design flaw? I,m then going to add ground wires to the radiator,heater core,and an additional ground wire from the head to the frame or battery.Is it possible that the head is not properly connected to the block for ground circuit flow because of the gasket between the two,and sealer on the head bolts ?
      The Service Manager at the dealership I work at says that the problem may be due to the actual flow of the coolant through the dissimilar metals and not actually a bad ground. Maybe I can just neutralize the acid in the coolant and solve the problem.
      There are similar problems with ships at sea with the salt water rushing past the hull. I think boats use an anode to help with this problem ? I,m not sure what an anode is or what it does or if i even spelled it correctly.
