iirc dex3 is too thin and cause leaks...

The original was dex 3, then they changed dex3 and it didnt work right anymore, so they downgraded to dex2.

So think its dex2 you want.

yes - dex 2 part no. comes up with dex 6 and when they put dex 2 into system that comes up with dex 6.  would it be wise to source dex 2 from motor factor or go with dex 6

Lizzie has had dex6, may be worth asking how she has got on?

I think they recommend it for everything  :-/
