Have never had to refill coolant in between those change intervals.
Still has original water pump, radiator, and radiator hoses. I replaced the T-Stat some years ago. Has 130k miles now.
Still, I don't think I would use Dex-Cool in any older engine. If you are running a copper core radiator and/or heater core, I would stick with the traditional coolant.
Some useful info here.

Great article there John. Thanks guys for the input. Leaning towards just sticking with basic old green coolant.
