What coolant to use

I'm needing to replace my upper radiator hoses (coolant is leaking at the ends connecting to the radiator) and while doing research I saw someone say in a thread to only use OEM coolant as lancers radiators are very fussy about what coolant goes in and was wondering if using a Penrite coolant from repco is safe to use.

If it has the factory blue super long life, then fill with nulon blue. If u can't find nulon blue in shops try sparesbox. Last I look, nulon blue specify the mitsu super long life standard and the penrite one does not.

The coolant used should be ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology. Do not use any alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. This is what the service manual says.
