G-12 is correct- but be careful of toping off. If you have G-12 in your car right now, your coolant will be pink. If you have the green stuff in your car right now, don't put G-12 in unless you plan on flushing ALL the green stuff out first. Having a mixture of the two will cause major problems for you over time as it will coagulate (sp). Sounds like you need to top off a bit - go buy some distilled water from your grocery store. It should be < 1.00 for a gallon.
