green or orange coolant?

alright, i'm about ready to do my coolant change (right way this time) and was wondering what coolant i should get
did my car come with green? i thought it did and i thought dexcool was introduced in 97 but i might be mistaken
i searched and didn't find any conclusive stuff as to whether i want to use dexcool or the green stuff (glycol or something?)

As long as you use one or the other, and do NOT mix them, you'll be fine with orange or green. What coolant are you running now, Dexcool or the green stuff?

I've been using the green stuff for over 4 years now, and my car never gets above 175 degrees.
