Smile 2007 Kia Sedona Antifreeze

Hello,

I just purchased a new 2007 KIA Sedona minivan and am trying to find out what type of antifreeze was used as the factory fill. Is it long life or regular green antifreeze? The owners manual simply says to use a Ethylene glycol based product for aluminum engines. The maint schedule says to change at 60,000 miles or 5 years and then change at 30,000 miles or 2 years after that. (Would this indicate long life or just regular green antifreeze)?

I have also read that KIA uses a phosphated HOAT antifreeze but have not been able to confirm.

Local dealers say to just top off with the standard ethyl glycol green stuff but I want to be sure that I am not mixing different coolants when I top off the resevoir and possibly cause the antifreeze to be less protective. There are so many different colors and types of antifreeze sold these days I just want to be consistent.

Anyone have any information as to what exactly was the factory fill?

Thanks In Advance
