Best coolant this time of year?

[Camaro_SLP]

I just got done changing my oil, and I checked my coolant, which was extremely low :eek:

What brand coolant is the best? And what's the best mixture for this time of year? It will get pretty damn cold in a month..

I use a 50/50 mix of prestone dex-cool. If possible, use distilled water, not tap water when mixing with the coolant.
50/50 is a good all-around mix here in the lower 48 states to prevent freezing. If you think you need a bit more antifreeze, you can go with a 60% antifreeze & 40% water mix, but I wouldn't recommend it.

First find a leak. Coolant can't just disapear, unless there's a leak.
