Are you talking about Dexcool? What exactly does the owner's manual specify?

Umm... all engines since the Model A have run higher than the boiling point
of water at atmospheric pressure. It was a big advance over the Model T
system, too. The whole idea of keeping the system under pressure was really
pretty revolutionary.... but these days it's pretty normal.

Look in the owner's manual, what does it tell you to use? If it says to use
dexcool, use dexcool. If it says to use standard green stuff, do that.
