FL22 Coolant Replacement

My stupid local Mazda dealers do not have the FL22 coolant for my '07 RX-8. Is there any other aftermarket substitute I can use?

Any green coolant is fine.

There is nothing special about FL22. its just a 55/45 mix

The more eg in the coolant. The easier to overheat.

Mazda's FL22 will last a bit longer. They made it 55/45 to reduce lazy owner's work.
