Look for a Brand that says DEXCOOL>
I use Prestone. The reservoir has a cold and a hot fill level, I you look closely you will see it.

Dexcool or equivalent is the type you need. May want to see if there is a leak somewhere too if in fact your reservoir is low on coolant.

If you do not know the history of the car you should assume it is overdue on the coolant change. GM says every 5 years or 150K miles.

It's a 7 year old car, get it flushed...I flushed my 99 when it was 5 years old even though it only had 25k miles..
