On a 2000 model you won't hurt anything with the non-silicant types.

What ever suits you is fine.

Okay well I got one other question for you guys...I decided I would go ahead and flush it and replace it. Now in the manual it says I need to back flush the heater core..well I couldnt figure out how to do this. What do I need to do? Can I just refill it and go ahead with it or what? Thanks guys for the help.

Please help! I gotta get to work...lol

You don't have to back flush it.

If you have the time you ought to though. Just dis-connect the hoses on the firewall and use a water hose to flush out any debris that might be in there.
