XJS Coolant

XJS Coolant
My radiator was replaced about four years ago. I cannot find the guy who did it. I recall reading somewhere that you should not use "regular" coolant in an aluminum radiator as it causes corrosion. I need to put some in , does anyone know the type I should use ?

I wouldn't have thought that it would make that difference would it?
It's an all alloy block with all alloy heads; if the engine was iron then I could see the aluminium radiator acting as a sacrificial anode but I don't think that would be so much of a problem in this case.
What did the racing guys use?

Anything that states compatible with aluminum. Remember the whole engine's cooling system and block and heads are aluminum, not just the radiator. As specified above, all but red are aluminum compatible. Just do not put a sealer in system that has to be shaken or heated before hand.
