Seems to be genuine Delco dye. I haven't had a leak happen yet with it in the system but I expect it'll do what it should if and when the time comes... Ran it in a couple systems for a couple months and doesn't seem to have caused any problems.

Well sealed bottle in the box. Nice and bright blue under a UV light. Will be grabbing another bottle after repairs are completed to verify we got all of the leaks. Update 3/11/25 Ordered second bottle, yep, missing it's cap and the foil was punctured like other people complained about so I guess you have a 50/50 shot of getting something that's actually usable.

Not sure why the instruction sheet isn’t given with the individual bottle, but here it is. Basically, use at 1 bottle per 4 gallon of coolant treat rate, no need to flush the coolant out afterwards, have used these on orange dex cool vehicles many times, always worked great.

Just replaced the radiator on a 2015 Buick Enclave. A month later, can smell antifreeze. Could see wet all over but not where from. Added this dye, ran it for 20mins, could see the leaks immediately. Both passenger side upper rad hose, and a smaller leak from driver's side lower rad hose. Needed a UV/blacklight to see, as expected. Will buy again if needed. 5*****
