the same kind that it came with...if it came with the green stuff stick with green, if it came with orange (dexcool) stick with that, or flush it clean and fill if the green stuff if you're opposed to dexcool.

I'm not an expert but if it came with the Dexcool I think that stuff is good for 100,000 miles. Some people say it get thick like sludge after a while. Mine has Dexcool in it now and its got 82K on it and if you pop the thermostat its got bits of gunk in it. I'm flushing mine and going with green this weekend.
