If it's overheating then it's unlikely to be the coolant brand. Something is already broken.
I used generic prestone for 250K in my 900T and the same in my 900TC for the last 7 years.
Overheating isn't the coolant. I think you'll find the rad is the problem. It you are lucky the thermostat or less lucky the head gasget.
The preventative value of coolant/tranny oil/engine oil/gas additives brands is pretty iffy. It does seem to make people feel good though.
900's have weak tranny's and the head/block interface is weak .. especially if you get it too hot! So don't abuse the tranny by flooring it during sharp turns in low gears. Don't ignore high temps either.
One of my other vices is flying and every airplane and aero engine has a similar list of watch out for this and don't do that ... especially if you don't want a big bill or an accident. Good news there is you need a checkout before the insruance company will let you take off.
Bottom line .. if it's getting too hot .. fix it!
