Coolant? Who's using what?
As the title says, who's using what for coolant?
I had a pin hole in a radiator and after repairing am wondering what is suggested for coolant. Are we going down that "racing" road and purchasing "high performance" coolant, are we using Water Wetter or what about just putting good old Prestone (or any brand name, aluminum safe) coolant in the system?
Thoughts & comments appreciated.

I seem to pull motor on a too frequent basis so usually go back with DI water and a splash of automotive enough coolant to make it have some green in it for some modicum of protection. The motorcycle folks particularly dislike coolant leaks on track.

The Asian formula coolant is pink, 20/80%, then add some Water Wetter. Looks just like water plus Water Wetter if anyone looks in the reservoir.
Thanks for the suggestions. I went with a bottle of Lucas Ice and water. Man, the system's hard to bleed.

I use water and water wetter. For the record...
I use Ravenol C13.
