Use Zerex G-O5. It's approved and pretty much the only alternative to the Mopar stuff.

That's strange, my local NAPA had it at the counter front and center. Have you checked different locations? I also saw OReillys had it but I didn't bother with them.

I'm not a 100% but I believe it should be fine to use. I can't imagine they changed it much if at all since last year.

Another vote for topping off with distilled water.
With temps as high as they are you'll be just fine with more water in the mix for a few days.

Water should be fine. The 2013's use a new OAT purple coolant which is not the same as previous year coolants which was HOAT coolant.
