Last week, I changed out(D&F only) the coolant in 3 vehicles
I know there are many folks who don't like AM/AM but, I really haven't had any issues using them.
I used PEAK LL AM/AM 50/50 in the Mazda3 and Nissan Altima. And used PEAK Global Lifetime 50/50 in the wifes Lexus.
I do each car about every 3 years so, the cooling systems are at the very least, well maintained!

2003 Focus ZX5. It developed a slight leak (more of a drip) from the thermostat housing and since the temperatures are dropping pretty fast, I didn't want to be in a position to work on the car when it's -15C when the drip becomes a big leak.
So, at the same time I got a jug of Zerex G-05 50/50 mix and did a drain and fill.

97 Ranger Zerex Green out, Zerex/Peak Green in.
2000 Honda Accord I-4 coolant refreshed with a gallon of Honda type 2 (blue). 7 years and 79k miles since last type 2 change. Old coolant looked the same as the new, so maybe it could have gone even longer.
Paid $20/gal this time, 7 years ago it was $12/gal according to my notes. Should have invested my retirement funds in Honda type 2 (9.5%/yr)

Hi there!!
2002 VW Lupo 1.4TDI - 139809 miles (225000 km)
OUT: Whatever pink liquid that was there.
IN: 1,5L of Febi Bilstein nº19400 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze agent (that complies with the VW G12+ - TL774F recommendation), plus 1,5L of distilled water. I´ve used only distilled water to flush it out.
REASON: Had to replace a damaged thermostat, and taken the opportunity to change the coolant too.
Regards.
