Newer GM vehicles use "Dex-Cool" antifreeze, made by Texaco and other companies. It is supposed to be good for 100K miles. You can get it just about anywhere; just make sure that it says Dex-Cool.

The fact is, about the same time GM switched to Dex-Cool, they were having serious intake manifold gasket problems with their 3.1 and 3.4 liter V-6 engines. Dex-cool got a bad rap as a result.
