Live in a remote area far from Toyota dealer is it safe to use the "universal" coolant? Or should I drive to the nearest dealer and buy from them?

Other extended life antifreezes tend to be okay, but I lean heavily toward "Toyota SLLC". It is, after all, what our cars are suppose to use and is not prone to deposits. As i have found from the matrix forums, it has molybdenum added in which no other coolant I know of uses. It is also sold on amazon should you be too far from a dealer.
