Except for formulations that have corrosion inhibitors that are formulated for aluminum engine components, it's all pretty much the same glycol-based solutions. There is nothing magic about the expensive stuff except for the branding. If Rolls Royce had an anti-freeze product, it would probably sell for $50/gal and still be the same basic formulation that has been used for decades. Change it every two years as recommended by both the car and antifreeze manufacturers, and you will have no problems. The corrosion inhibitors are organics which eventually break down in the engine cooling system environment.
