You *should* be able to use any coolant as long as it's the same colour
as the coolant in there now. Of course, don't get the super cheap stuff,
that's just always bad news no matter which car you have or whether it's
coolant or oil.

I think you only really need to worry about the special Pentosin stuff
when it comes to the hydraulic fluid (G00 2000, aka Goo 2k). Someone
please correct me if I'm wrong.
