Default Coolant question

Checked my coolant today and found that its quite low, picked up a gallon of Zerex G-05 because it said Nissan.. Got home only to find the fine print saying Nissan 1995-older. What are you guys using? I live in NY and store my car during the winter if that matters.

Lots of debate about coolant compatibility and what I'm going to tell you, many, many people will disagree with... However, if what you're putting in is the same color as what's in there, you're probably fine.
You can also probably top it off with water and plan a change in the next couple weeks.

Distilled water if you have to use water.

^Yeah, I should have said that... But, it won't kill anything to have it in there for a couple of weeks, IMO.
