The computer at NAPA said I need Pentosin Pentofrost A2.
I never heard of it, and it wasn't near the other coolants, so I didn't get it and I figured I'd search here to get the skinny.
I was surprised to find no search results here on the whole NICO forum.
Is this stuff good? Is it necessary or is there a more common coolant that is acceptable?

You can grab an owner's manual here:

Based on that (page 10-2) all you need is the standard issue green ethylene glycol coolant.

I used Prestone 50/50 a little over a year ago with no issues so far.

What color is in it now ? The OE stuff is about 25 bucks.
