You should be looking for FL22 long life coolant. It's green just like the old stuff but extended life.

If the bottle says FL22 then use it. If not its regular long extended life stuff. Both green....I dunno why. ASk an engineer

long life coolant (red stuff) is garbage. GM's all use it in their cars, and the result is eaten-out headgaskets by not even 100,000km
