For most cars, you can use Prestone Green; it's an all purpose antifreeze that is supposed to be compatible with multiple manufactures.

But if you have access to your owner's manual, there should be a section that recommends fluid types. You should always use the recommended fluids, as some of the universal stuff can have interactions with the original fluid. Also the universal fluids may not have the same protective additives that your engine requires.

What kind of coolant do you use in a 2001 Yamaha Kodiak 400?

If coolant needs to be added and the owner does not know what kind is already in the engine, it should be drained and flushed before adding any new. Most coolants are appropriate, but it is not recommended to mix brands or types. Use a coolant safe for aluminum blocks or buy Yamaha brand coolant specifically for your model. The coolant should be premixed 50/50 or if it is not premixed, mix it 60% coolant and 40% water before adding.

Don't confuse engine coolant and air conditioning refrigerant. Engine coolant is Dex cool- Do not use any other kind as the sensors in the system will read differently with the wrong coolant and make incorrect adjustments in your system. Air conditioning refrigerant in your car is R-134a.
