Coolant bypass filter/coolant?

Just done the Zoo-dad mod and was looking around at things and noticed the coolant was a little low, It looks like the gold type, can this be bought at wal-mart or?? anything I need to know about it look for on the label when buying it?. Second question I read about the coolant bypass filtration system any done this, is worth the $$, any pics. pointers?. Oh yeah as I said I did the Zoo-dad mod but have the 6637 will this do any good?

Gold Coolant is Zerex G-05

can be found at Walmart. There are many others you can use if you want to flush the system, but this will add to your stock gold antifreeze.

Coolant filter is a good idea. I saw particles in my degas bottle and decided to do it. Take a look at Guzzle's pics

Somebody makes a kit, I'll see if I can remember and post the link.

I remember now, I thought I bought the bracket from somewhere, but I made my own like Guzzle. I bought the filter and base from Napa.
