Is it cool if I get the same blend type...or are they all basically the same. Whats the deal, Im running a little low on coolant but don't feel like driving all the way don to the dealership to get my coolant toped offed.

The only guideline that I've heard is that some coolant/antifreeze is basically a 2-year version and some a 5-year version. Therefore, you should supplement with the same blend. (No, I don't know which the Z has.) Other than that, you should have no problem.
It's reasonable that the level could go down slightly over time - due to evaporation in the overflow tank if nothing else - but if it seems to go down more than "slightly", you could have a small leak somewhere and would need to get it checked out.

Just pour in a bottle of redline water wetter or royal purple- purple ice.. Both products are good for temp reduction and mix perfectly with any oem system.. Used it in all my cars... both are highly recommended and work.......
