Default coolant question again

So i was wondering if the pre-charged Zerex is a legit coolant to put in the 97. I have this other stuff too that was given to me, label says it fancy, it's like Virgin ethylene glycol, with no silicates and SCA, no idea where I can get more of that stuff though. any other recommendations, getting ready to do an all out coolant flush if I ever get a gosh-dang chance to do so.

i'm looking into Fleetrite as well anyone use this stuff before?

I ran it for 3 years then my t-stat pipe leaked and I changed the water pump because I was sure it was stock and I was at 173k. But I had to do this in the o'rielly parking lot so I ended up goin back to green 50/50.
When I can I will go back maybe with AMSOIL this time not sure.
