You can get the same thing a lot cheaper at an auto parts store. It's recomended for steel bolts going into aluminum engine blocks.

I don't want to sound the "Fo(u)r Eyes TV commercial, but make sure it's the same thing.. ingredients vary.
You are right that there are alternative sources and amounts larger. Automotive industry has many formulations due to their applications. Heat in internal combustion adds to the corrosion issues. Making sure that mating threaded surfaces are clean and burr free ahead of time is also a very good idea.
