You can use either the green stuff or Dexcool (the orange stuff). Your choice.

I would use whatever you have in your motor now.

Just don't mix the two. There have been wives tales going around stating how Dexcool is "corrosive" and will do more harm than good. It's horse ****. Don't believe it. What is harmful is when the two are mixed. A reaction will happen and the coolant will gel and start clogging/restricting coolant flow. As stated just use whatever you already have.
