Personally, I would go with the Holden coolant for the same reason I used Toyo coolant with the Toyo engine .... not going harm/cause a problem in the cooling system.

the radiator guys are saying the Toyota stuff is the best stuff you can buy.

some are putting it in their v8.. not Toyota engines..
because its a superior coolant to the rest.

they mentioned the radiator stays cleaner and obviously performs better with the Toyota coolant.

I know from experience the toyo coolant is best in toyo's but no experience with it in other engines.
If others have done it and is better, I see no reason not to give it a go.

hey mate i would say go for the toyota coolant, ive heard and seen nothing but good from it, better corrosion inhibitors and has a high gylcol ethelyne, better than the V6 commo coolant thats recommended. id say it would have to be superior to others
