Default What coolant does everyone use?

Here in okc we will get up to around 105 degrees on a given day in the summer time. What coolant does everyone recomend and what mixture? 99% distilled water and 1% antifreeze and a bottle of water wetter?? or 50/50 mix with water wetter? I'm swapping in my J's thermostat and fullblown radiator next week therefore i'll need to replace the coolant. Previously i ran 50/50 and a bottle of water wetter with no real issues

OEM Honda the blue one. It has special additives that prevents mud built up in the radiator

I remember reading a post by Billman that said water wetter is a no no on these cars. I do remember some sludge when I flushed the coolant after a year with water water. I just use the Honda stuff

I use Toyota Superlong life (pink coolant). I compared the MSDS and they're basically use the same ingredients expect 1 and I I'm pretty sure its the dye for color.

I've used water wetter. Dropped my overall temp 5-10 degrees.

That and 50/50 premixed with distilled.
