Default Coolant Flush

I have a 1995 Cobra mustang and I'm going to do a coolant flush and replace some radiator hoses tomorrow. Does anyone know what kind of coolant would be best for it?

just put the green stuff in, no real science there, I dilute it with distilled water to reduce the impurities in the system

After you flush it, there will be alot of water left in the block.

Make sure you put enough antifreeze in it to get a 50/50 mixture.

For example, if a coolant system capacity is 15 L. Draining the radiator will usually only get about 8 L's out. So basically if you have a 15 L system. Make sure you add 7.5L of coolant.

Distilled water is the way to go.
