What kind of coolant in Pontiac Pursuit 2005?

If green I need to buy some. I have orange from when I had my Neon. I just switched cars. The manual doesn't say colour but just Dextron or something (it is in the car and my memory is not so good) so I wanted to make sure. Not sure if mine is a Base Sedan or an SE Sedan..

Dexron is actually a brand of transmission fluid. GM used a coolant called Dexcool. In April of 2003 a lawsuit was filed again GM , claiming Dexcool ruined intake and head gaskets, and formed rusty sludge causing engines to overheat. Ask the parts guy what to use or read the label, but I would avoid Dexcool;.

Can't edit my question so I will add more here: I will have to ask a PartSource store near me then but I did take a pic with my cell of the manual and am looking at it now.. Okay the manual says this: Engine Coolant: The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL (R) engine coolant. This coolant is designed to remain in your vehicle for five years or 1500,000 miles (240,000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only DEX-COOL (R) extended life coolant. Is that the orange one? If it ruins the head gaskets should I use green if orange is already in there? is the Dex-cool the orange one?

If it were my car I would flush the cooling system and use an all purpose coolant.
