Any 50/50 or 60/40 brand is ok as most of the coolant today is for aluminum radiators. Pestone,Zerex,etc
We have had some racers even use the expensive "Engine Ice" made with distilled water to remove all impurities and phosphate free(no harm to environment or animals),don't actually know if it's worth the extra cost! OPT

60/40 is what polaris uses and is better for dispursing heat but at the least a 50/50 mixture will work.
