In bay area weather you can put much more water than anti-freeze in.

i would use the orange stuff personally
anything with a high aluminum content should use DEXA-COOL (orange) aluminum radiator, or heads.
your cooling system has to be 100% clean from any green stuff though, they are not compatible whatsoever!!!

What does it have to do with "high aluminum content"?....Dex cool just lasts longer and protects a little better, 'cause it's designed for people who never change their coolant...It's designed for 100K tune ups...
Check this out
http://www.theherd.com/articles/dex_cool.html
Notice how the 96 Geo's and Saturn's dont use it?...The Dex-cool actually builds up and causes clogs in the coolant passeges in the small aluminum heads....I know the newer Saturns use Dex cool...However the new Geo's and Camaro's dont use Dex Cool, 'cause they don't make those cars anymore... ...
