2001 93 Base What the heck is "Approved Coolant"?

What do I buy to top off the coolant tank? 2001 Base 9-3, 148,000 mi., treated like a baby the entire time.
Near end of 360 drive Sunday, the low coolant warning came on the SID. First time ever. There was a strange smell about 20 miles earlier, which I had hoped was a car in front of me as I crossed Binghamton on the Interstate.
Coolant in the overflow, and there is some still there, is blue, not green or red. So, hopefully I can top off and then do some watchful
No oil residue when rag is put in an withdrawn, and oil on the dip stick appears clean, 2,800 miles on full synthetic. It is 28,000 miles since flush and replacement of coolant at the dealer for 120,000 mile full service.
Boy, was the coolant cap hard to get off. 'Had to use a strap wrench to loosen it. I hope there is supposed to be a dark ring inside the filler hole inside the threads.
TIA
DER
