yeah man just use the stuff that is specified for your car. If you wanted to do anything to aid cooling take out your thermostat if you have one

don't take out the thermostat, you'll need it to get the engine temperature up. especially in cold weather.

Just use OEM it should be fine. The key is to make sure you use a 50/50 mix and make sure your radiator cap and thermostat are working properly :)

You can add the Redline Water Wetter and that will help it a little. Mostly keeps things moving smoothly and a little cooler. Here (http://www.redlineoil.com/products_coolant.asp) and listen here (http://www.redlineoil.com/products_coolant.asp?productID=53&coolantFlash=1)!

yeah I've used Redline water-wetter and it dropped the temp enought to make a visual indication on the temp guage.. it dropped a 'notch' at full operating temp.

I think I am running Motul at the moment which is essentiually the same as the Redline product.

if you use a mixer - go buy some distilled water from coles to mix rather than tap-water with all it's impurities.
