Default Low coolant message!

On my 99 I got the low coolant message today and on the cap it says to use RC87. What are we using in 2015? Or where do I get RC87? Thanks in advance.

Use Dex-Cool. That's what the owner's manual specifies.

Can be used to top-off any color of automotive antifreeze including green, yellow, orange, fuchsia, blue and red
Amber color will not change the current antifreeze color when used for topping off
Meets ASTM D-3306 and ASTM D-4340 specifications
This is an improvement over Dex-Cool according to my tech. So that's what I changed it to. Dex Cool was developed over 20 years ago.
