    I was using Tectaloy V Plus, which is specifically for the Holden V6 engine. It is quite expensive but worth it.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Any brand name coolant is fine aslong as it is the organic coolant for the v6 commo motors. In my opinion I consider Castrol to be the best but you have to have a good condition cooling system to use it as it has a high percentage of detergent and will wash alot of shit out of the passages and could cause a older system to start leaking.
