If I were you, I would just be making sure it has rust inhibitor, and contains anti-freeze and anti-boil, boiling around 134 degrees or thereabouts. I like a 50/50 mix off the bat, so I can afford to dilute the mix a little over time, but that's just me I also mix the leftover coolant with an equal amount of water, and keep that in the boot for top-ups. Almost like pre-mixed cordial

A 50:50 mixture of coolant/water is the recommended mix. You can't go past the Holden coolant even though it might cost a little more. The cheap stuff is just coloured water.

I'd be trying a large Holden dealership like Patterson Cheney on Canterbury Rd.
