For a 2012 Chevy Equinox, it's recommended to use Dexcool coolant mixed 50/50 with distilled water. This coolant isn't just for cooling the engine directly, but also to prevent rust in the coolant system and lower the freezing point. Different types of engine blocks require different additives in the coolant to prevent rust on their components. General Motors, the maker of Chevys, suggests Dex-Cool as the ideal antifreeze for their engines. It's easily identified by its orange color and is known as a long-lasting coolant that can last for up to 100,000 miles.
