Well, I am going to go out on a limb here and say Antifreeze. >

Lots of companies make the stuff, and it comes in a couple different colors: Red, and the traditional Green. Green is proabably what you want, here. >

Prestone is a popular brand.
One thing to note is that a lot of places sell pre-mixed antifreeze these days. If you get it, then cool, just pour it in; otherwise, you are going to need to mix the stuff 50/50 with water (preferrably distilled water).
Some might recommend an additive by RedLine called WaterWetter which I have heard good things about, though have never personally tried.
As an aside... A few things I would NOT recommend you put in your new radiator include:
Malt-O-Meal
Quick-Dry Cement
Sulfuric Acid
93 Octane Gasoline
Oreo Cookies

By flush he meant to "thouroughly rinse" the radiator of the old red fluid. Since its new....u prolly wont need to do a thing, just fill 'er up.
