antifreeze works too but I wouldn't mix coolant w/ antifreeze, look at the Poll about how much you should mix distilled water w/ antifreeze

I'd watch out with antifreeze. Most antifreezes are based on ethylene glycol, which (at least for me) started sticking to my tubes, and it looked nasty. There are alternatives out there, check the antifreeze thread for some of them.
