What's the coolant in a 9-3SS?

Great method!
However, I want to change the coolant in my 9-3SS after 5 years. It's easier to use the same kind of coolant. For that, drain, add coolant. Drain again after the thermostat opens and engine is allowed to cool off, add coolant. This is because if you drain it, only about 40% drains off.
This way, if only 40% drains...
doing it once means 40% drains out, 60% remains
doing it twice means 64% drains out, 36% remains
doing it 3 times means 78% drains out, 22% remains
