Default Is This Bad Dexcool?

I'm really confused on this whole Dexcool thing. Previous owner of my Discovery was kind enough to leave this in the back. Is this the safe stuff to continue using? Should I mix 50/50 if I need to add coolant?

you should flush the system and use 50/50 green stuff. the problem with dex is it gets gummy and corrosive with air especially. some get away with using it most don't

IMO all Dexcool is bad.

That said, if your coolant is currently orange, and you need to top off, and a flush and fill of green coolant isn't in the cards, then mix that 50/50 with distilled water.
