In Chicago if there is any risk of freezing just use normal coolant for a car.

If you NEVER use in winter and is stored in a warm garage then you could use something like Motul MoCool which will keep the engine a little cooler in the hot summer months. But it will NOT stop the water freezing and damaging the engine during the winter.

Looks like Prestone 50/50 fits the bill, safe for aluminum and no silicates.
