I'm currently running pure water with Redline WW (and a dash of
soluble oil for lubrication) in the snake. This works just dandy as
long as I remember to flick on the radiator fan once the water reaches
normal running temperature. So far I haven't had any overheating
problems in spite of the fact my radiator is half clogged. This
should be okay for you for summer driving. Just make sure to put in
some ethylene glycol come winter.

Doubt you'll have any problem figuring this out for yourself because
You get direct feedback if you guess wrong.
