Welcome, Pat in Wash.state here. I'd get the coolant from kawi. i dont think auto coolant is the way to go. Might flush all the hydraulics, how are the tires, good tread but old (5yrs) is sketchy, look for micro cracks in the tread and sidewall.

That would depend on how well the "stole" bit behaved in the long run.Usually unreliable,and sometimes volatile.A box of full of hand grenades aint allways a good steal mate.
