Any brand name, mix 50/50 with distilled water. I use prestone.

It takes 24 Qts. when it's dry.

If you use the green colored stuff, your service interval is every 30,000 miles. I switched to this in my 2000. Click You can find it at a large truck dealer.

Since there were only two factories in the US making antifreeze until one burned down I highly doubt there is any differences between brands.
