hey, i use supertech you can get it at wal*mart its in a blue jug, i get 2 bottles and put that in, then fill the rest with water, i have never had a problem, in the winter i might use 3 bottles insted of 2. you want to drain your coolant and replace like 2wice a year i think it is, that is what i do.

if you mix anything with antifreeze make sure its water or the same kind of antifreeze, make sure you don't mix any of the different colors or you'll have a radiator full of jello
