I use green Prestone as well, but found that I never overheat with a 70/30 or 60/40 ratio of water to antifreeze (mostly water).

That's ok for you southern boys ! Up here if your storing in unheated space you will see a few -20 nights . Plus premix has no minerals in the mix water .  ;)

My 2 cents aren't needed, but..  50/50 pre-mixed or diluted by me.  Green ethylene glycol rules.  Change about every 5 years.

Any water soluable oil will work.  There used to be several sources that were labeled as water pump lube but they are getting hard to find.  I usually get mine at NAPA And just ask for water pump lube as the brand they carry seems to change from time to time.  Last time I bought it I got a Prestone brand but they have a similar product at Walmart occaisionally and itmis much cheaper.
