Correction !!!! My memory chips are corrupted, I have corrected the name of the coolant I use.
Call the shop in Sioux Falls and ask what they use. Confirm it is an SCA type coolant by testing it with the SCA “nitrate” strips. That would tell you if it is the normal green SCA based coolant. However, if that was the coolant put in when the engine was rebuilt, that was over five years ago, and you may be due for a change.
I use the Final Charge OAT because it is widely available, even at some Walmarts, and most Autozones.
Keep in mind that ALL engine coolants are ethylene glycol based. The only thing we are talking about is the additive package that keeps the coolant from cavitating on the cylinder liner and eating through the liner.
