I own a 2002 Chevy Malibu and I need to know more on the Dexcool coolant

[K dances her dance]

that is supposed to be used.? I did some research online about it after noticing that it said Dex cool coolant only on the reservoir. I could not find it in stores but when I checked online the horror stories I read as to the damage it has done to cars.

I tried to check for a orange color coolant in the car but I can't tell if it is that color or not(I read Dex cool is orange). However is it safe to add other forms of coolant and how can I find out if this is even in reservoir.

I really could use some input on this.

most any bio degradable coolant will work, unless you live where it freezes it main purpose would be to reduce electrolysis
