As far as I know you can use any ethlyne-glycol (green) based anti-freeze, either the pre-mixed or cut it with distilled water if you get the concentrate. Just be sure it is compatable with aluminum engines/radiators.
Just about any cycle shop would carry that type, if you are not sure about what you find else-where.

I strongly recommend you use Polaris's coolant instead of automotive stuff. Many people on this forum including myself have lost water pump seals due to the high silicate content of automotive coolant. Obviously the choice is yours but I for one would go with P on this one.
