You know what? It's cool for top offs. I don't know any specs, probably dexclone/ universal. But people who need to top off don't want to buy a whole gallon of 50/50. Packaging alone makes this a win.
I do wish they offered coolant in smaller 50/50 containers like that, now that factory fills are good for extended periods of time buying a gallon at a time isn't necessary for most people.
Sounds like conventional green, they don't list an MSDS for it, who knows? Unless I had a leaker, in winter, & it was an emergency, I wouldn't chance it.
Speaking of Dollar Tree, be careful of which wall calendar you buy. Some of them will have the hole punched off center, so when you hang it up on the wall, it hangs crooked.
I went in to look for the 1/3 of a quart motor oil and saw this. Looks like plain old green coolant. If only it was concentrated then it would be of some value.

My wife bought a dollar store calendar and it had an April 31st. Luckily, May was correct and May 1 started on the correct day.
I use the AutoZone universal for my cars and have some of that leftover.
It would be pretty cool to buy all your fluids at the dollar store and see how well they worked.
Seems if they would be getting this at dollar tree they would not be driving a new car. In fact they might be driving a bit older car that has had regular ethylene glycol coolant in there. Ethylene glycol is a pretty common thing to be loaded on a ship and sent from China for cheap. So common we have heard of it being mixed in cough syrup and other things where it can kill people. I'd bet a dollar it is real coolant of the typical mass produced variety. Coolant in your rad is about half or more water, and the "top-off" or "keep it at the line" idea for a little bottle makes sense in that regard, as some (water) does "evaporate" between (cheapskate) coolant changes, especially.
