Default Coolant Flush

Quick question.

Doing a coolant flush on my '86 VDP. I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out what the best coolant to use when I refill.

Was hoping to get some ideas on what everyone recommends.

As always, I appreciate the help!

I used ordinary old fashion green Prestone in my Ser III for the many years I had the car.

What anti freeze to use with the distilled water is the easy part!

How to flush and keep the old out of the ecosystem and what to do with any that was captured is the tough part.

The only environment friendly way is to let a pro do it that has the equipment to flush and rejuvenate the coolant for reuse.

No more driveway flushing done here.
