Default Coolant Help

Ok soI was doing an inspection on my car and realized thatthe coolant bottle (the thing on the car that says "Caution Special Engine Coolant Only") was in need of being added badly. I looked at the manual and it says use HOAT ethylene glycol engine coolant (antifreeze). I found this http://www.valvoline.com/pages/produ...asp?product=10and was going to use it but how should I put the mixture into the bottle as far as water & coolant percentage?
Also what brand do u guys use because they seem to have a shortage of the right collants and such over here. I may need to use another brand if they dont have the one I posted?

Water Wetter, I'll see if they have that over here. I'm having even more of a problem. They dont sell HOAT over here! At least not Zerex.What the hell! Is the Redline itself a coolant or just an additive for the coolant? What other coolants are good for the car other than the Zerex?

to be honest, get the mopar coolant. i've tried a few other types of coolant and i'm not impressed with them. the mopar one has been the best to me and isn't that expensive, so just go to the dealer and get it from them.

water wetter is an additive that you just dump into the coolant.
