NO LONGER ACTIVE
Xerex G-05 is compatible, acceptable, and usually readily available. The proper coolant level is check in the overflow tank. It should be right at the top of the "clear" section, where it meed the black top section. The system is self-purging, so after a drain, you may need to top it off once or twice after driving.
