2008 GTS Antifreeze

Has anyone changed or know the brand of antifreeze the factory antifreeze is? Reservoir is kinda low and wanted to top it off. I know it said atleast 50/50 mix i think.
Wasn't sure if you could mix antifreeze without problems.

I'm at a little over 16.5k miles. I have an oil changed in a few thousand I think, might just make sure they check the fluid levels. I don't think the original dealer did the last time cuz it was at their Chevy dealer cuz the one went under before the Chevy one did, so I had to to take it there. I found a new one to take it too and they sound decent.

haha i thought the same thing with my car, i had mitsubishi top it up, and it ended up overflowing. unless its below the low line, i would say your fine. the level of fluid has been known to drop and rise when you run it and turn it off

No. Water is one of the "50"'s in 50/50
