Stay with DexCool. Do not mix it with the green ( Ethylene Glycol ). Ethylene Glycol is chemical that is not compatible with DexCool. When mixed together they form a gel-like substance that stops coolant flow and consequently the engine can overheat.

If you use water, use only distilled water as regular tap water usually contains some mineral in it which is bad for your engine..

 It says 13.4 quarts for the capacity of the entire system. Conventional wisdom would say that a significant amount may remain in the block with just draining the radiator. I was mealy trying to get an accurate refill from someone who has done it.
