it produces less mess.
It is spec for a Toyota and is the only coolant you should use

Ammonia is used in some refrigerators as a coolant agent.
Very likely you have a blown head gasket. Condensation is a possibility, but this sounds new. There are commercially available head gasket testers. Check your coolant level and oil condition. Low coolant indicates a leak that you can't see aka steam.
Works the same as most cars, using hot coolant. One advantage is in cold weather it warms up faster as it stores hot coolant in a insulated reservoir when parked.
yes the water in the coolant will dissolve the clutch material inside the transmission and then the rebuild will cost you more money then it would to fix it now before any additional damage is done.
high heat capacity... fluid at normal operating temperatures... not damaging to the material it is circulating through... affordable...
the coolant is contaminated with fission productsif the coolant is water and the fuel pellets are canned in zirconium a chemical reaction may occur that could generate large amounts of hydrogen gasif enough core is exposed without coolant, the molten core material could melt through the reaction vessel and eventually the floor of the containment building (this is very unlikely unless there was a severe loss of coolant accident and the emergency coolant system was disabled)
Sounds like a blown head gasket. Have a mechanic do a compression test, and check for oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the oil, (white foamy material around top of fluid level.)
The radiator on a 1999 Mercury Cougar is flushed by draining the radiator, filling it with water, and adding a commercially available radiator flush. The engine is allowed to circulate for 10 minutes, drained, flushed with fresh water, and refilled with coolant.
