hope its not a new one with plastic end tanks like the original coz for the price of the standard vauxhall/holden one you can get an all alloy one from Oz that wont burst every couple of years. As for antifreeze - ordinary GM RED fluid is what you need - about 2.50 a litre from your local dealer and you need a fait bit - 12 litres give or take to completely fill the system.

whilst your there have a look in your header tank
mine was pretty dirty so removed it and cleaned it out.
Happy to say the coolant that came out the engine was nice and clean,i think it go's bad in the header tank because there's more contact with air
