03 X-Type Coolant Replacement

I live in the USA if that makes any difference as to the what the
answer is.

I have an 03 X-Type 2.5 with 11,500 miles. I got at the end of
January with 3,200 miles from a relative so I know this is the
original mileage.

I want to replace the coolant. It is light red in color so I am
guessing it is the same type as GM Dex-Cool but I do not know for
sure.

Would someone please tell me the replacement type I should use to
equal the original type and if there is any special way to drain
the system with any little gotcha that I need to worry about.

Thanks

Engine Coolant: JTIS Spec: WSS M97B44 D. This is compatible with long life marketed anti-freeze. Originally developed for GM, called Dex-cool, this fluid is pink/orange in colouor, not green. Long life specifies 5 year 150,000 mi changes. I donâ€™t agree and change mine every 12 to 24 months max. Brands: Prestone Extended life 5/150. This is a new generation (pink/orange) coolant compatible with all coolants - green, pink, orange, or whatever. Capacity: 10.6 qts 3.0L and 2.5L â€“ but expect that you might not get the entire system drained from the heater core and engine block.
