You also would need to have some on hand at all times to top up the system.
Regular coolant you can get some at the local auto parts or discount store in
whatever brand that you prefer, but this stuff isn't as available. And regular
coolant can be filled with water in a pinch or mixed in a lower concentration
to make it go further until you get more. But this stuff is to have no water
in it.
So it fixes problems that you should not have at a higher cost with more
trouble to make it happen.
It's way more trouble than it is worth.
